You and Who Else
The charity to which the royalties from this book will be donated is the Terrence Higgins Trust, Russell T Davies' charity of choice - and the most appropriate beneficiary given that You and Who Else was launched on the evening of the tenth anniversary of Doctor Who's return to our television screens.
