Ten Acre Books You Are Not Alone: A Gay History of Doctor Who

Available to order from www.tenacrefilms.bigcartel.com

Ten Acre Books is pleased to announce the publication of a new history of Doctor Who, examining the programme from a queer perspective for the first time. You Are Not Alone: A Gay History of Doctor Who delves into the show’s diverse queer influences, while shining new light on the life stories of its many gay cast and creatives.

Part social history, part biographical anthology, You Are Not Alone charts Doctor Who’s gay subculture — on and off-screen — alongside the evolving landscape of the British TV and theatre industry over the past seven decades.

The book draws on revealing new interviews, including 1960s directors Waris Hussein and John Gorrie and Radiophonic Workshop pioneer Brian Hodgson; actors Sophie Aldred, Mandip Gill, Matt Lucas, Katy Manning, Matthew Waterhouse and Anneke Wills; plus in-depth commentary from the three showrunners of the modern era — Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat and Chris Chibnall. Lord Montagu of Beaulieu has contributed the foreword.

You Are Not Alone will be published in trade paperback on 25 May, ahead of Pride Month. Patrick Mulkern is available for promotional interviews.
