AUTISTIC JOURNEYS WITH 

CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON

Heart-warming, funny, emotional 

behind the scenes footage 

from the day 

an Autistic film maker 

met and interviewed 

the man who inspired 

him to make films - 

Doctor Who. 

In the BBC1 

Drama series 

The A Word, 

Christopher Eccleston plays The Grandfather 

of  an autistic child, 

film-maker Gerard Groves shares.

“I’m Gerard Groves, 

I’m 18 years-old, and 

I love making stuff : 

films, comedy sketches, 

project ideas… 

Basically anything 

people can watch and enjoy 

or laugh at or learn from. 

I’ve been making films since 

I was a 12 year old kid dressed up as Doctor Who 

in my back garden; 

My Dream is become a 

cross between Ridley Scott, J.J. Abrams, 

and Quentin Tarantino. 

I’ve just moved from Birmingham to London to start my new job as a 

BBC Production Apprentice 

I’d love to hear your feedback/support/criticism/plans-to-take­-over-the-world!

Thanks for Watching, I Hope You Laughed or Learnt something.
