Indefinable Magic 19 - From Boy to Fan

Toby Hadoke can trace the moment he went from being a normal human being who liked Doctor Who, (you know, watching it on TV, reading the stories, enjoying it) to becoming a fan (you know, finding out about behind-the-scenes facts, learning the history, being unnecessarily angry with it). It was when he received a certain book, a gateway to unimaginable riches. The book was Peter Haining's Doctor Who - A Celebration, and it led him on a journey of discovery, of joy ... and eventually ... of disappointment. Will I ever learn to recapture that innocent love again? Have a listen and find out.

PEDANT ALERT: Message from Toby : There's a mistake in here: William Hartnell died in 1975, not 1973 (as stated here at one point) of course. I know that, you know that, but in the flurry of recording and editing and uploading and all that, my brain was clearly temporaily muddled. Forgive me.
