Comedians, actors, authors and politicians make up this veritable Who’s Who of celebrity Doctor Who anecdotes, compiled by Talk Sport reviewer and writer, Steve Berry.

Behind the Sofa compiler, Steve Berry

Steve Berry decided to undertake this project in memory of his mother Janet, who suffered from Alzheimer’s in her final years and passed away in 2009. The book has taken more than four years to put together and its publication has been “crowd-funded” by the pre-orders of an enthusiastic Whovian community.

Among the contributions are memories from the likes of Al Murray, Stephen Merchant, Bill Oddie, Lynda Bellingham, Nicholas Parsons,  Rhys Thomas, Jenny Colgan, Jonathan Ross, Charlie Brooker, Louise Mensch,Tom Harris, plus BSFA award winners and nominees Neil Gaiman, Paul Cornell and Kim Lakin-Smith.

Cool artwork has been provided by popular Doctor Who Magazine artist Ben Morris and the book retails at £14.99 with all profits going to  Alzheimer’s Research UK.

The book is available from Troubador Press.
