Publisher Description: 'A beautiful book.' <b>Zoë Ball </b> <p/> Be it as Nicky Hutchinson in <b><i>Our Friends In The North</i></b>, Maurice in <b><i>The A Word</i></b>, or his reinvention of <b><i>Doctor Who</i></b>, one man, in life and death, has accompanied <b>Christopher Eccleston</b> every step of the way - his father Ronnie. In <b><i>I Love The Bones Of You</i></b>, Eccleston unveils a vivid portrait of a relationship that has shaped his entire career trajectory, mirroring and defining his own highs and lows, from stage and screen triumph to breakdown, <b>anorexia</b>, self-doubt, and a deep belief in the basic principles of access and equality denied to generations. The actor reveals how his background in <b>Salford</b>, and vision of a person, like millions, denied their true potential, shaped his desire to make drama forever entwined with the marginalised, the oppressed, and the outsider. <p/>Movingly, and in scenes sadly familiar to increasing numbers, Eccleston also describes how the tightening grip of <b>dementia</b> on his father slowly blinded him to his son's existence, forcing a new and final chapter in their connection, and how 'Ronnie Ecc' still walks alongside him today. Told with trademark honesty and openness, <b><i>I Love The Bones Of You</i></b><i></i>is a celebration of those on whom the spotlight so rarely shines, as told by a man who found his voice in its glare. A love letter to one man, and a paean to many. <p/> 'My father was an "ordinary man", which of course means he was extraordinary. I aim to capture him and his impact on my life and career.' - <b>Christopher Eccleston</b>
