It's rare that we've had a memoir of a Doctor Who director (I think the only other one was by Graeme Harper. And that really only covered Caves of Androzani and Revelation of the Daleks) so I took to this with some interest. Briant covers not only the six stories he directed (which includes The Sea Devils, The Green Death and Robots of Death) but also his time as a floor manager during the shows black and white era, as well as other programmes. It's a pleasant if not spectacular read. But I was disappointed the biggest question of all wasn't answered: what's the "E" in Michael E/ Briant stand for?
