Who and Me is Barry Letts' memoir of his experience on Doctor Who which was released by BBC Audio. However this is only the first volume.
Quite interesting Barry Letts telling about his life as an actor before his work on Doctor Who.
The behind the scenes stories of Barry Letts' experience on Doctor Who from The Enemy of the World to The Daemons is quite fascinating including the forced dropping of Susan Jameson for the villain Morgan in the 1971 story Colony In Space as it did not sit too well with then Head of Drama Serials Ronnie Marsh of having a female baddie.
It was quite moving when Letts' recounts Jon Pertwee's story of wanting his father to be proud of him but sadly did not get it.
Having ended this first volume with The Daemons, it will be interesting what Letts has to say in volume 2.
