After reading William Carlos Williams’ The Doctor Stories the patients of my own past began to haunt me. Driving in my car, musing in elevators, winding down at my desk at the end of the work day; the patients in my own past just crowded out all thoughts in my mind. Their compelling stories nearly became an obsession. I began to keep a journal. In it, I kept track of who was haunting me and as much of their story as I could remember. As their numbers grew and I had more details clear in my mind, their stories took form and shape. I have always been one that remembers people by their face more than their name and the faces would appear and their stories would come back to me as though it was yesterday. Some of these patients had not been remembered for over thirty years going back to my time as a student and intern. And yet when I started to compose at my computer, the words just flowed. The stories wrote themselves. The emotions attached to the patients had not dimmed and propelled me forward in the effort to put their stories down in narrative form. There are scores of patients whose stories came back to me that I have organized into approximately 30 different chapters. Each story stands alone but all have the common themes of pathos, compassion, trial and triumph of the human spirit. The theme of the triumph of the human spirit suffuses the entire book. I am continually amazed at how humans can handle what life throws at them. We never know how much we can handle until we are asked to rise above extraordinary circumstances. At the same time there are the oddly amusing stories. Sometimes it is enough just to put a smile on one’s face. There are stories like that too. The patients in my book all have had to deal with the extraordinary. Everyone is vulnerable to illness and death. The patients described in the pages of my book stand out in some way as remarkable. The book is a memoir, but it is not about me. The book is about the patients and their struggles.

What's a Pirate History? It is the unauthorized and unapproved stories you're not supposed to hear. The stories of the BBC's attempted to cancel the show in 1984, and their subsequent war against their own television program. The emergence of fandom and the rise and fall of John Nathan-Turner. And it's about the unauthorized Doctors, when fans started making their own versions of Doctor Who. It's about the first woman to play the Doctor, Barbara Benedetti, stories starting in 1984. You won't find her in the official histories, but you can still watch her adventures. It's about the Rupert Booth Doctor of the 1990s and his twelve episodes and five stories. It's about the Reign of Turner, Ocean in the Sky, Resurrection of Evil, The Experiment, Spectre From the Past, film adventures almost as polishied as the BBC productions, created, not for profit, but through sheer love of the show and the desire to keep it going even after the BBC abandoned it. Along the way, we explore the way technology like Super 8 cameras, Videocassette Recorders and Camcorders helped shape the evolution of fandom, as well as the emergence of fan culture, and its impact on the show. In subsequent volumes, we explore Doctor Who stage plays, both official and unofficial, the failed professional attempts to create Who audo dramas, and the success and accomplishments of fan audio, how fans found, preserved or recreated lost episodes, the bizarre copyright situation of the Doctor Who universe, and the opportunities it provided/ Let us take you on a journey through histories, stories and adventures in the world of Doctor Who that are overlooked, ignored or erased by the official gatekeepers. It's a world that you may have never suspected. But it's worth your while. Come with us on a journey into new frontiers and buried secrets.
