Cover blurb:
"You know," I said to Pete, "I sometimes wonder whether we’re the only normal people on the planet."

"Tell me about it!" He laughed, adjusting his Fez and handing me a fish finger. "The custard’s just cooled a little, I’d say it’s at optimum dipping time."


Life Begins at 40 is the story of two thirty-something Doctor Who fanatics sharing a flat in Blackpool, out of pocket, out of luck and clinging to the hope that Life Begins at 40...

Jeff is a barman, constantly forestalling marriage to his neurotic new-age girlfriend, preferring the company of Pete, an agoraphobic misfit with some serious baggage. United by their social detachment and love of Doctor Who, their world view is tainted by too much cult TV, and the walls between reality and fantasy begin to blur, with hilariously disastrous consequences.

With middle-age fast approaching, can they really spend the rest of their lives hiding behind the sofa? ‘Life Begins at 40’ deals with the big questions. Should we get married? Are children a good idea? And, in the future, will we all be walking around with one eye and no arms from too much teleporting?
