Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf by Toby Hadoke

nwhyte's review

"I was vaguely aware that comedian Toby Hadoke has a one-man stage show about being a Doctor Who fan, and got hold of the CD in the expectation of some wry nostalgic giggles but not much more.[return][return]I got a great deal more. The CD adaptation includes various other actors (including Louise Jameson as Hadoke's mother and Colin Baker as himself), adding to the power of the script, which is a wonderful meditation on growing up as an outsider and then coming to terms with fatherhood, with Doctor Who as a backdrop. (Basically everything that Nick Davies' Dalek I Loved You was trying to be, and much else besides.)[return][return]I was glad that I listened to this on one of the rare days when I had driven to work. I could not stop crying at the end, and that is better done in the privacy of one's own car rather than in a commuter train. It is brilliant."

Listened to this in the car. Loved every moment of the book. It resonated with me and all of the fandom love of doctor who.

This was cute! Though, considering it is from a comedian, I expected it to be funnier. Ah well. But I did like the production of it - multiple cast members to do different voices, sound effects, even getting Colin Baker to do some work on it.
