This autobiography of Barry Letts who had a longer association with Doctor Who, having at various times written, directed and produced the show. It covers Barry's early life and career before moving on to his first contact with Doctor Who.
It's an interesting read, especially if you're interested in the efforts that go into producing a series like Doctor Who along with the politics of working for the BBC. Less interesting is Barry's views on Bhuddism which he occasionly goes off on a tangent on. But that's a minor quibble.
This only coveres his time producing Doctor Who up to the end of Jon Pertwee's second series. I'm guessing a second volume was planned, but sadly Barry died in late 2009 just before this book was published.
