The British rock star Chris Rea will be forever known for his seasonal smash ‘Driving Home For Christmas’, but there is much more to the gravel-voiced singer and slide guitar player than meets the eye. Chris Rea: Song by Song chronicles Rea's career from his 1978 debut album Whatever Happened to Benny Santini? to his chart-topping run of bestsellers in the 1980s, which culminated with 1989’s The Road To Hell, which reached number 1 in the UK and was certified platinum six times. Along the way, Rea has also been an unlikely star on the European dance music scene and the lead actor in a Michael Winner movie. Following a major operation, he reinvented himself as a bluesman and started a new chapter in his music career. And then there is the slight matter of an obscure track from the 1980s, which slowly became the festive favourite that we all know today. The ultimate survivor, Rea has sold more than 40 million records worldwide and deserves his place among the all-time greats of modern music.

When David Tennant took over as the Tenth Doctor in 2005, the rejuvenated science fiction series was still in its infancy, having just completed its first series. Under the direction of showrunner Russell T. Davis, Doctor Who had burst back onto our screens after a lengthy absence and while it was more popular than ever, there was always a question of how audiences would react to one of the show's central concepts - the regeneration of the lead character itself. Fortunately, the casting of Tennant proved to be an inspired choice. Armed with nothing more than a pinstripe suit, a pair of plimsolls and a sonic screwdriver, he proved to be more than a match for the Cybermen, the Ood and the dreaded Daleks. And as companions entered and left the Tardis, Doctor Who became one of the BBC's biggest programmes all over the world. Now, more than ten years after his final episode, 'The End of Time', this unofficial book aims to examine the enduring popularity of the Tenth Doctor, with comprehensive reviews for all of Tennant's episodes, behind the scenes trivia and a guide to some of the locations that were used to create a television legend. Don't leave the constellation of Kasterborous without it!Jamie Hailstone is a journalist, author and lifelong Doctor Who fan. As a journalist, he has contributed to the likes of Classic Rock, Utility Week and the Municipal Journal, having interviewed more politicians and rock stars than he cares to remember along the way. His previous works include A True Gentleman for Doctor Who: Short Trips Volume 1 (Big Finish 2010) and Professor Howe and the Shanghaied Scientists (Long Scarf Publications 2019). He lives in West Sussex, UK.
