Overview
A candid, amusing and insightful autobiography of Peter Davison who will forever be known as the 'Fifth Doctor'.His fans have spoken, but despite their requests, Peter Davison has gone ahead and written his autobiography anyway. It wasn't the book they tried to stop it was more like the book they didn't want him to start. Despite displaying unspectacular scientific aptitude at school he even managed to fail CSE woodwork, eliciting a lament from his astonished teacher ('All you have to do is recognise wood!') Peter has secured his place in science fiction history, becoming the fifth Doctor Who, although he nearly turned down the role.The Time Lord connection continued with the marriage of his daughter Georgia to Dr Who number ten, David Tennant. The artist formerly known as Peter Malcolm Gordon Moffett has also starred in a number of television series including Love for Lydia, A Very Peculiar Practice, At Home with the Braithwaites and The Last Detective and became a national treasure for having his arm up a cow in his role as Tristan Farnon in All Creatures Great and Small. He was also in a Michael Winner movie He made his first tentative steps on stage in true am-dram style, but the Byfleet Players' loss was the West End's gain, after appearing in Legally Blonde, Chicago, Spamalot and the record-breaking Gypsy, where he rubbed shoulders backstage with Dames Meryl Streep, Maggie Smith and Judi Dench all asking for directions to Imelda Staunton's dressing room.One thing is for sure: of all the British screen and stage actors of the last fifty years, Peter Davison is certainly one of them and, within these pages, intrepid readers will at last have the dubious honour of sharing in his life and times as he despairs over whether there truly ever can be life outside the box.
