Product Description

Product Description

Barry Letts began his screen career as an actor, starring in the Ealing film Scott of the Antarctic and TV dramas such as The Avengers, The Moonstone and Gunpowder Guy in which future Doctor Who actor Patrick Troughton took the lead role. In the 1960s he switched to directing, taking the helm of classic shows such as The Newcomers and Z Cars.

Barry got his first taste of Doctor Who in 1967 when he directed the six-part serial The Enemy of the World. In 1969, he took over as the show's producer. This was an exciting time for Doctor Who - the show had a new lead actor, and was being broadcast in colour for the first time. Barry reveals his memories of this era, talking about his relationship with script editor Terrance Dicks and the show's cast, Jon Pertwee, Katy Manning and Roger Delgado.

Packed with behind-the-scenes gossip, fascinating production detail and witty anecdotes, Who and Me recounts Barry Letts' journey from struggling actor to successful producer, and the ups and downs of working on Doctor Who during the Jon Pertwee years.

From the Publisher

For the FIRST TIME in Hardback & Paperback, Fantom Films present's Barry Lett's Autobiography which includes Extra Material Not Featured in the Audio Book.

Foreword by Terrance Dicks and Afterword by Katy Manning

5.0 out of 5 stars who & him, 26 Nov 2009
By Barry Short "barry15312" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very good memoir, it details "who" the way we we fans will enjoy and barry letts gives details of his career both before and after who. It's well written, enjoyable, interesting and very, very sad as the author passed away just weeks before publication. His love of the programme, his co-workers, his career as a director/producer, his interest in zen and all other things shines through in an often funny, and always interesting book.
But all through reading it I felt a growing sadness at the knowledge that we'd no longer hear his voice on the DVD commentaries, we'd no longer see him on the documentaries, something that will make the Pertwee DVD's a little sadder to watch
Buy this book, it's marvelous, enjoy barry letts' humour, honesty and integrity and mourn the passing of a great man. It may be my softness showing but the last line of the book brought a lump to my throat:
"I'll tell you next time"
So sad that he can't... Rest in piece mr letts

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine legacy, 1 Dec 2009
By Basil (Middlewich, Cheshire) - See all my reviews
I've been a big fan of the 'Pertwee era' of Doctor Who for many years. For me the era represents a time of experimentation in effects, music and a bold new way of doing things. Barry (together with his trusty sidekick Terrance Dicks) were central to this.

I've watched Barry many times on Doctor Who DVD documentaries and been fascinated about his work on the show. His love of new electronic effects, especially CSO (Colour Separation Overlay) comes over with such enthusiasm, in fact he talks a lot about the techniques he used as a director/producer in this book. Its full of little hints and tips and he's not afraid of saying when things didn't work out quite as expected, for example the story 'The Green Death' has some CSO shots he isn't so proud of!

The book is a really easy read, very conversational, in fact I could almost hear Barry's voice in my head reading it to me.

His non Doctor Who work is equally fascinating and he lifts the lid a little on the internal politics and hierarchy of 1960's/70's BBC.

Highly recommended to fans of this period of Doctor Who and also to anyone interested in the early history of British television.

A great man - his legacy lives on.
