Product Description

Synopsis
Paul Darrow's career has encompassed theatre, television and film. Famed for his portrayal of Kerr Avon, a ruthless and calculating computer expert, in Terry Nation's science fiction series Blake's 7, Darrow has also appeared in Coronation Street, Emergency Ward 10 and many other productions - including two guest appearances in Doctor Who. Populated by familiar names and productions, You're Him, Aren't You? is Paul's own story of his life and career. It tells of his association with Blake's 7 - how he was cast, his experiences of making the show, what has happened since and his memories of Terry Nation, the cast and the crew. It also tells of his childhood, his time playing Elvis Presley and his near miss with James Bond.

4.0 out of 5 stars Avon's Still Calling, 18 Jul 2006
By J. M. Galloway "Old Enough to Know Better" (Suffolk, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a must for anyone who remembers the BBC's sci-fi series "Blake's 7" and spent the late '70s and early '80s wanting to a) be Kerr Avon or b) sleep with Kerr Avon. Paul Darrow's latest book not only offers a retrospective look at his career to date, but provides fans with an insider's view of what it was like to be part of B7. Some readers might find the often wandering narrative frustrating, others - particularly those who have met Paul and have enjoyed listening to his anecdotes - are more likely to find it endearing. If you have even a passing interest in B7, this book is worth a read... amongst other gems it contains what may be the funniest plot synopsis of "The Keeper" EVER.

4.0 out of 5 stars A SLIGHTLY RAMBLING TALE OF AN ACTORS LIFE., 22 Jan 2007
By NEO "Daren" (orpington kent) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I have admired Paul Darrow since he played and is best know for Kerr Avon in Blakes 7. This book charts Pauls life from childhood to time at a Public School and then on to a military college during the 1950's. Then when he decides to take up acting full time much to the surprise of his Father. His big break came when he was accepted for the part of Avon in B7 and he has never looked back since. I do get the feeling that as he has never let the part go , neither has the general acting world. And he can't get past that time of the huge success as Avon which has limited his further career. This is a very funny book and Paul pulls no punches as he describes his life but as ever focuses to much on B7. We still learn next to nothing about his wife Janet Lees Price and his later work. And worst of all he seems to ramble with the narrative which makes it very hard to follow. There are some nice press photo's and some of Paul during his childhood to round it all off. This book does fail on some levels but overall it's a very good buy indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never less than entertaining, 19 Sep 2007
Parts of this book had me howling with laughter; most of it kept a smile on my face, not least the Blakes 7 quotations which head every chapter. Mr Darrow is unfailingly generous about the many well-known names he delights in dropping throughout the book. He has obviously enjoyed his career! I must mention one chapter above all: The Plain Man's Guide To Alien Invasion is without doubt the funniest and most penetrating episode guide to B7 ever written. A gem

This is a fun book and I must say that I enjoyed reading it very much.I think the author must have written it without very much help from an editor. Read more
