Note: Contains minor amendments and a new introduction by the author. Cover blurb: He watched every episode; read all the novels and comic strips. His life took a sudden twist when he was thrust into an alien and adult world — cast as Doctor Who’s youngest ever travelling companion for two of the series’ most inventive seasons. Matthew’s sense of wonder at getting his dream job, and his love for the show, are palpable; as is his shock at genuine hostilities between cast and crew members and tensions on set, which are counterpointed with poignant reminders that he is just a boy, and still a fan, who finds himself in the absurd, comic world of minor celebrity. Blue Box Boy is a detailed memoir of Matthew’s time on Doctor Who, peppered with glimpses into Matthew’s personal life, tales of conventions and DVD commentaries, and some revealing anecdotes about Matthew’s co-stars and some of Doctor Who’s more high-profile fans. As a memoir it holds nothing back, and it is written with honesty, warmth, wit and self-deprecation. This affectionate and darkly humorous memoir is a record of what it was like to make Doctor Who, and to work for the BBC, in the early 1980s. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
