The Mervyn Robinson Memoirs - 1994

Publisher's Summary

The Man from Venus is the latest memoir from Doctor Who superfan, Mervyn Robinson. For many years Mervyn’s life has been focused on his idol, former "Doctor Who" Tom Baker. However, in 1994 he began to have romantic feelings for friend and fellow Doctor Who fan Tracy Collingston. The problem is that she’s also infatuated with Tom Baker. How can Mervyn win Tracy’s heart? And where does the mysterious Man from Venus fit into this bizarre love triangle?
