More Than a Book – A Fan Experience – Featuring new insight into the badges, pins, and patches that adorned the jacket, as well as why things swap round per story (and even, sometimes, within an episode). It’s the story of how the jacket came to be, and how much it has been embraced by fans the world over (including a unique insight from a fan who actually made the jacket at the time of the first series transmission where Ace appears); with contributions from Sophie Aldred herself. The Outside Story offers a mix new and old facts, with some hefty research that will make this the definitive onscreen history and the perfect guide for cosplayers who want to know the backstory and the exact details of each iteration of the jacket.

Supporting Autism Charities – Proceeds will benefit Autism charities (for children and adults).

Back Cover Blurb – Have you ever wondered how Ace gained her jacket, and why the patches, pins, and badges chop and change in every story she appears in?

Wonder no more!

With more research than you can shake a BBC Archive at, you’ll get to read some fantastic new facts about the different manifestations of Ace’s jacket over the years.

Not only that, but there’s memories and stories from Sophie Aldred herself, who played the character of Ace.

This is a charitable publication.
