Who Goes There, a Doctor Who inspired travel book written by show expert Nick Griffiths, has been making headlines this week after its release on 25th October.
Nick has been interviewed by a number of people including BBC News, BBC Kent, BBC Oxford, with an interview with NBC planned. The story has been picked up by national press, local news and Dr Who websites including the World's most popular site gallifreyone.com.
Nick commented "The book took me to some strange looking but beautiful places.. There was an old railway station in an episode I was watching and I suddenly thought 'I'd really like to go there, that looks really strange and unusual... I had a quite a lot of fun trying to find the
place anyway and when I got there it was fantastic being able to stand in the spot where the Doctor had stood."
To mark the book's release Nick will be doing a series of book signings nationwide, including a signing at Border's Charing Cross this Thursday from 7pm.
