HINES SIGHT - AUTOBIOGRAPHY - PAPERBACK
Frazer Hines is one of the UK’s most charismatic stars of stage and screen. He started as a child actor working with Charlie Chaplin, and became a household name in the sixties appearing alongside Patrick Troughton in Doctor Who. In the seventies and eighties, Frazer was housewife’s favourite Joe Sugden in Emmerdale Farm.
In this compelling and funny book, Frazer reveals his own thoughts and feelings when faced with being a ‘media celebrity’ from an early age, his love of horses and cricket, and his romancing of some of the most eligible and beautiful women from all walks of life, making him the envy of many.
‘He writes with such humour and passion that you can’t put the book down.’ Review on Amazon
‘The book ... is peppered with hundreds of anecdotes that will entertain, amuse and move even the most hard to please fan ... It’s mature, considered and above everything else honest.’ James Whittington
‘Thoroughly engrossing.’ Doctor Who Magazine
‘Hines does an admirable job of reporting on his own life, while avoiding over-sensationalising it in a way that many “autobiographers” could learn from.’ Sci-Fi Now Magazine
Each copy will come personally signed by Frazer. Shipping is included in the price.

REVIEWS OF HINES SIGHT
Sci-Fi-online.com commented: 'Hines has a nice easy reading style of writing, but in the end the book has less to do with his two well known roles and more to do about Hines as a person, and let’s face it that’s the sort of thing you really want to read in an autobiography.'
Kasterborous.com loved the book: 'the book ... is peppered with hundreds of anecdotes that will entertain, amuse and move even the most hard to please fan.' and 'The book comes into its own when Frazer covers broken relationships and marriages. Obviously writing honestly he delivers accounts of failed associations with respect for all concerned. It’s mature, considered and above everything else honest. Hines Sight is a great book about one of Britain’s most interesting and charming actors.'
Midwest Book Review said: 'The British love their icons of television just as much as the Americans love theirs. Hines Sight: The Life and Loves of One Britain's Favourite Sons is a memoir of Frazer Hines, star of television in countless British sitcoms and television shows, as he reflects on his television career and becoming an early television celebrity when the television began to take hold in the United Kingdom. Hines Sight is a fine and recommended read for those looking into British television.'
M Howard on Amazon.co.uk said: 'Anyone interested in showbiz and television will love this book by Frazer Hines. It gives a frank and humorous look into the life of a favourite TV personality. His sense of fun shines through every story, although it bravely covers the ups and downs of his long and fascinating career. Highly recommended - read it, you'll get a real sense of the man behind the public persona.'
Tony on Goodreads said: 'While reading you feel like you are really getting to know Frazer. The writing style makes you feel like you are sitting in a pub with a pint and a packet of crisps just chatting. He openly tells us all about his childhood, his school days, his relationships on and off the screen, his theatre work, what really happened during his television days and his love of horse racing and cricket. The names of other celebrities that Frazer has either worked with, been friends with or in a relationship with, bring home the fact that everyone knows Frazer. And it never comes across as just name-dropping, these are genuine accounts of his life, the good and the bad. It is all here for everyone to see. I would highly recommend Hines Sight to anyone who wants to read a fun, enjoyable and heartfelt account of Frazer's private and public life, then this is a book for you.'

DOCTOR WHO: THE EVIL OF THE DALEKS NOVELISATION - HARDBACK
The official hardback novel of THE EVIL OF THE DALEKS, written by Jamie himself, FRAZER HINES.
The book will be SIGNED ON AN EXCLUSIVE BOOKPLATE BY FRAZER HINES ONLY - no dedications on this item. This is a private signing arranged by SLH Ltd on behalf of Frazer.
After defending a space station from a Cyberman incursion, the Doctor and Jamie learn that young astrophysicist Zoe wishes to join them on their travels. To give her fair warning of the dangers she may face, the Doctor places the TARDIS outside time and space and uses a mind projector to share one of their most harrowing adventures…
And so, Jamie is forced to relive his encounter with the Daleks at their most evil and calculating. In a complex plot that dragged him from modern-day London to Victorian times and finally to the Dalek world of Skaro, he endured ordeals that tested his courage, strength – and his friendship with the Doctor – to the limit. He presents his own version of some of those events to Zoe; events that still anger him.
And while fact and fiction blur inside the TARDIS, a malevolent force watches from outside. Soon, Jamie finds himself lured from the safety of the ship into dangers that could end Zoe’s travels before they begin – and all their lives, as well.
Publication is 26th October 2023. Books will be shipped as soon as they become available to us.
We have realised that, due to Frazer's busy schedule for the end of the year, he's not actually going to be available in the UK to sign copies directly until the start of 2024.
As the book is published in October 2023, we have therefore arranged an upgrade, and have commissioned top artist Adrian Salmon to create a special bookplate for the book which will be signed by Frazer. This will then be applied to the inside covers of the books when we receive them, and we can then despatch so people get them as quickly as the Post can bring them to you.
Please click the link below to take you to ordering pages for the appropriate release. Please remember to select the correct option for your location as the shipping costs vary widely depending on that. Payment is taken at the time of ordering.
NOTE: THE ORDERING DEFAULTS TO 'UK' AS THE COUNTRY AND WE CANNOT CHANGE THIS. IF YOU ARE OVERSEAS, THEN PLEASE IGNORE AND JUST ADD YOUR ADDRESS DETAILS FOR WHEREVER YOU ARE. TO BE CERTAIN, DROP AN EMAIL AS WELL TO SAMLHOWE@OUTLOOK.COM TO CONFIRM YOUR FULL ADDRESS.
NB: the link takes you to a SumUp books page which is operated by SLH Ltd, an independent bookseller, dealing with this book by arrangement with Frazer.
