Note: Officially due out on 12 March, but copies showed up in Amazon & other retailers in late February. Cover blurb: Featuring a foreword by Lance Parkin Doctor Who is indisputably the most successful and beloved series on British television and the most watched series in the history of BBC America. Doctor Who FAQ opens with the show’s early days on the BBC and goes on to tell the complete story of its American success, from its first airings on PBS in the 1970s to the massive Doctor Who fan conventions that are a staple of the modern-day science fiction circuit. Combining a wealth of background information and numerous illustrations, Doctor Who FAQ also includes a comprehensive episode guide. From the Doctor’s most impressive alien foes to the companions who have fought alongside him, from unimagined planets to unexpected points in history, from some of the greatest minds ever to have walked the Earth to the most evil beings ever to haunt the universe, it’s all covered here. The TARDIS — the none-too-reliable “bigger on the inside than the out” blue box in which the Doctor travels — is also explored, along with Daleks, Cybermen, and Sea Devils. Doctor Who FAQ has everything you need to know about the most famous Time Lord in the universe, making this a must-have for fans!
