Nick Griffiths
The author of Dalek I Loved You ...
Nick Griffiths grew up in Hampshire, where he developed a taste for Doctor Who, Weetabix (for the Who freebies), Airfix models, Action Men and, later, Space Dust. Someone mentioned Tales from the Riverbank on telly last night and he wept openly.
He ended up studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering by mistake and eventually got into journalism having first crashed a builder's van (it's all in the book). Via a brief hipness as a music hack, he now writes about television - mainly Doctor Who - for the likes of Radio Times.
Nick also adores Withnail and I. Please, really, don't get him started.

"It was my 18th birthday when I chanced upon Harrison Dextrose's The Lost Incompetent: A Bible for the Inept Traveller; little knowing that it would one day lead me to kill a man with a dead penguin." Inspired by the questionable Harrison Dextrose and offered the carnal delights of Suzy Goodenough as the prize, Alexander takes leave from going nowhere to enter on a journey in the footsteps of his hero and into the vast unknown. Featuring a dwarf, hot air balloons, lost rats, various taverns and a fancy watch, our finally intrepid explorer stumbles from one adventure and from one reasoned-mind defying place to the next. After this satire, no travel stories will be the same again.
