For 26 years, DOCTOR WHO was a British institution, capturing the imaginations of generations of children.But then, in 1989, it was cancelled. The Doctor and his on-screen adventures were no more. There was no longer a hero, a champion for the outcasts who struggled to fit in. It was as though he had walked into his TARDIS and set his controls for dematerialisation, never to return: a whole generation lost to the powers of Science Fiction’s greatest creation.It was in this Doctor-less world that I grew up.This is the story of how one little boy would try to find the Doctor in any way, shape or form and the obstacles he faced in doing so.This is the story of growing up without Doctor Who in the Wilderness Years...and how I lived through it.
