Paul Darrow: You’re Him, Aren’t You?
Big Finish has announced that an audiobook reading of Paul Darrow’s autobiography – available in August 2016.
Originally published by Big Finish in 2006, You’re Him, Aren’t You? is the story of the man behind Avon, as told by actor himself.
Paul Darrow’s career has encompassed theatre, television and film. Famed for his portrayal of Kerr Avon, a ruthless and calculating computer expert, in Terry Nation’s science fiction series Blake’s 7, Darrow has also appeared in Coronation Street, Emergency Ward 10 and many other productions – including two guest appearances in Doctor Who.
Populated by familiar names and productions, You’re Him, Aren’t You? is Paul’s own story of his life and career. It tells of his association with Blake’s 7 – how he was cast, his experiences of making the show, what has happened since and his memories of Terry Nation, the cast and the crew. It also tells of his childhood, his time playing Elvis Presley and his near miss with James Bond.
Plus – exclusive to the audiobook release – an extra chapter bringing Paul’s story up to date, including his return to Blake’s 7 with Big Finish’s audio revival of the cult series.
You can pre-order You’re Him, Aren’t You? today from the Big Finish website for just £15 on CD or £12 to download.
