Highly evocative... fascinating --The Doctor Who Magazine

Good-humoured and endearing --SFX magazine

Product Description

Who Goes There; is the sequel to Nick's hugely popular Doctor Who memoir, Dalek I Loved You (Gollancz, 2007 & 2008). It's a travel book with Doctor Who at its core. Nick travels England and Wales, seeking locations used in the show, both Classic (pre-relaunch) and New. Being an odd kind of show, its locations too are odd. This is no glamorous trip. Dungeness Nuclear Power Station, anyone? A flooded china clay pit in Cornwall? As he travels, so Nick discovers another side to our well-trodden country, which is no less evocative. Then he goes to the pub. As in Dalek I Loved You, the travel writing is backed up by Nick's childhood reminiscences and contemporary musings. A companion website offers photographs from the trip, a Google map of the locations and details of the nearest pub. In this innovative way, readers are invited to follow in his footsteps. Scariest of all, given two other books in the pipeline (both humour books, for Arcturus Publishing), Nick has just 21 days in which to write it. Who Goes There isn't just for Who fans - it's for anyone who fancies a trip off the beaten path. And a very funny book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 11 Nov 2008
By N. Beards "whobird" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Who Goes There charts Nick's adventures around the UK in search of Doctor Who filming locations old and new. Armed with his 'fact packs' and his undying love of the show, Nick sets off to stand in the very spots where Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee and later David Tennant stood and held court as the Doctor.
Accompanying Nick on his bonkers tours are his beloved friends and family (I love them all!), aiding and abetting him as he soaks in the atmosphere of hallowed Who ground and occasionally trespasses to get to the epicentre of Wholand (he doesn't recommend that we the readers do this, if only for the nettle stings around the ankles!)
As an added bonus, we get to see the pictures taken on Nick's jaunts online (the scared at Autons face a particular fave of mine!). This adds a lovely touch and it's hard not to feel you've been there too. (I have, in some cases, for I am as sad as Nick!)
Running through the book of japes are some poignant moments that Nick shares about his family, and I must admit to shedding some tears of sadness alongside those of joy and hilarity.
Who Goes there ticks all the right boxes for me. It's definitely fuelled my desire to go to more Dr Who locations.
You don't have to be a Who nutter to thoroughly enjoy this book, but it helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious Who-based jaunt round Britain, 8 Nov 2008
By Vicki (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews
This book (the follow-up to "Dalek I Loved You") certainly lived up to its predecessor as hilarious read, as the author and his family travel Britain in search of both classic and new Who locations.
The author's family put up with his Who-centricity with such good grace as they visit both local and far-flung locations - and of course, the inevitable quarry or two...
There's also a fantastic companion website which lays out the locations, which I plan on using indulge in some Who nostalgia myself. Bad Wolf Bay, anyone?

3.0 out of 5 stars Great idea; could have been done better, 12 April 2009
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This is certainly a great idea for a book; particularly at a time when gently humourous travel writing is on the up. Unfortunately, Griffiths just isn't very funny or particularly interesting and comes across as a bit of a poor man's John McCarthy.
The visits to the 'Who' locations themselves are great and would arouse the interest of any fan, however the in-between bits let the side down; feeble attempts at humour and poorly researched and inaccurate potted history lessons just grate, whilst the writer's constant self-deprecating remarks and comments on the forebearance of his friends and family are generally more irksome than empathy inducing.
This is worth getting hold of for the good bits but just don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.
