'A beautiful book.' Zoe Ball Be it as Nicky Hutchinson in Our
Friends In The North, Maurice in The A Word, or his reinvention of
Doctor Who, one man, in life and death, has accompanied Christopher
Eccleston every step of the way - his father Ronnie. In I Love The
Bones Of You, 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, anorexia, self-doubt, and a deep belief in the basic
principles of access and equality denied to generations. The actor
reveals how his background in Salford, 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. Movingly, and in scenes sadly familiar to increasing
numbers, Eccleston also describes how the tightening grip of
dementia 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, I Love The Bones Of Youis 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. '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.' - Christopher Eccleston
