'One of the oddities of Doctor Who is that you hear so much about
what the fans think, and so little from the other 100 percent of
the audience (my stats are clinically accurate.) So thank God for a
couple who put their love on the line to set the record straight.
This is the story of a fan boy who inflicts every episode ever made
of Doctor Who on his marriage. Or to put it another way, this is
the story of someone with a proper love and understanding of Doctor
Who, trying to explain it to her husband.' Steven MoffatNeil loves
Sue. He also loves Doctor Who. But can he bring his two great loves
together? In January 2011, Neil Perryman set out on an insane quest
to make his wife Sue watch every episode of the classic series of
Doctor Who from the very beginning. Even the ones that didn't exist
any more. And so, over the next two and half years, Sue gamely
watched them all. From William Hartnell and Tom Baker to Peter
Davison and Paul McGann, the result was a wildly successful and
hilariously revealing blog called Adventures with the Wife in
Space.But the adventure continues. Here Neil Perryman tells the all
too true story of Doctor Who fandom. Funny, honest and surprisingly
brave, he also captures perfectly the joys - and fears - of sharing
the thing you love with the people you love. Adventures With the
Wife in Space is, at its heart, the story of Doctor Who, and its
fans, seen through the eyes of two people - one who knows almost
nothing about the programme and another who knows way too much.
'This is a very, very funny book; touching too.' Jenny Colgan
