Wiffle Lever to Full!

Bob Fischer

'Personal and engaging . . . anyone who agrees that Star Wars was a defining moment of our collective childhood will love this book' - The Times

'Funny and affectionate' - Time Out

'Will have you hitching aboard the Millennium Falcon to a galaxy overflowing with infinite possibilities. ****' - Metro

*************

In 1981 the eight-year-old Bob Fischer was entranced by Daleks Vogons and crack Imperial Stormtroopers.

Almost three decades later Bob decides to rekindle the affair with a tour of the UK's sci-fi and cult TV conventions. Freewheeling from Doctor Who to Discworld Star Wars to Star Trek and Robin of Sherwood to Red Dwarf he combines misty-eyed memories with a terrifying travelogue of terrible torturous . . . terror. Or something.

In space no one can hear you scream. And don't expect much sympathy in Peterborough either.
