It’s the 1980s and David has just started secondary school. He’s becoming a teenager, while hanging onto the rituals of childhood, particularly his addiction to ‘Doctor Who’: sharing the books with his best friend and neighbour, Robert, and watching the TV show.

But adolescence is as strange and alien to David as anything the good Doctor encountered, so he’s mystified when Robert begins to reject his hero in favour of girls, free weights and new music.

Is it time for David to make a choice and move on too?

Read by the author, this is a touching tale of fandom, friendship and the tricky transition from childhood to adulthood.

A moving and evocative story about a boy finding his place in the world, set against a backdrop of Bowie, Blackpool and Breville toasters.

As a young boy growing up in the 1980s, Paul Magrs was completely besotted by all things Doctor Who. Locked away in their own happy little world, he and his neighbourhood friend, Robert, spent their days filling their minds with the Doctor’s intergalactic time travelling adventures. 

Their journey through the hardships of adolescence is just beginning and there’s no doubt in Paul’s mind that their idol is coming along for the ride.

And yet, to his horror, it seems that Robert has other things on his mind. All of a sudden intent to yield to the pressing distractions of girls, growth and Genesis, Paul finds that his best friend is beginning to move on from their hero over whom they shared such a strong bond. With the pressure to grow up pressed upon him from all sides, is it time for Paul to abandon the only thing that seems to make sense?

The Diary Of A Doctor Who Addict is a touching and witty memoir about a boy coming of age in Eighties England. This complete and unabridged reading, delivered by the author himself, is now available for you to enjoy as a high quality MP3 audiobook.
