Book Review: You're Him, Aren't You? - An Autobiography, by Paul Darrow
Perhaps more so than Tom Baker's autobiography, this reads like an audio book, or perhaps a conversation with the author, or the character with whom he is forever associated. It is, however, interspersed with more warmth and generosity to other people who passed through Darrow's life. It's not a particularly long book, but Darrow combines a conventional autobiography with his own perspective on the story of Blake's 7, including an inimitable episode-by-episode guide, and the various abortive attempts to relaunch it. This is definitely a book written for the fan audience, although it covers his entire career; but the main point, is that it's well written.
