Description:  Slim (42-page) book containing a behind-the-scenes account of how the author built a replica of the Fifth Doctor’s TARDIS console room in his back garden. More details on the BBC News website.

Cover blurb:
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CHILDHOOD DREAM REFUSES TO STAY IN THE PAST?


Growing up in Belfast, I didn’t have a TARDIS console room. I had a small hallway, a dressing gown and an imagination powerful enough to transform the ordinary into somewhere extraordinary.

More than forty years later, that childhood sanctuary became real.

Creating the Console Room tells the personal, funny and occasionally chaotic story of how a small team of craftspeople, engineers, filmmakers, students and lifelong Doctor Who fans attempted to recreate the iconic 1983 TARDIS console room from The Five Doctors.

Filled with behind-the-scenes photographs, stories and lessons learned, this book invites you inside the creation of a full-size, interactive tribute to one of television’s most memorable sets.


BUILDING A TARDIS CONSOLE ROOM IS NOT A SENSIBLE THING TO DO.
BUT SOMETIMES THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEYS BEGIN WITH A WONDERFULLY RIDICULOUS IDEA.
