Description: Collection of 26 essays about Doctor Who, one for each letter of the alphabet. Cover blurb: He’s all these things and more. He’s the Doctor. And in his world, everything is possible. He’s appeared on TV, film, stage, in novels and on CD-ROM. He’s been a comic book hero and a 3D soap star. His adventures have been screened everywhere from Australia to Zambia. The name of his deadliest enemy has earned a place in the dictionary as a byword for ruthless tyranny. A whole generation can hum his theme tune. It’s 35 years since the fantasy adventure series Doctor Who made its under-budgeted and largely unheralded debut on BBC Television. In that time it has been in and out of favour, alternately respected and reviled, triumphed and trashed; but it survived to earn a place as one of the best-loved and longest-running television series in the world. Lavishly illustrated with previously unseen photographs, this witty and eclectic collection of commentaries takes a fresh look at Doctor Who from a host of different perspectives, and forms an easy-to-read but nonetheless indispensable guide to what can only be described as a television phenomenon. Gary Gillatt is editor of Marvel Comics’ Doctor Who Magazine. He is 26 and lives in south London. |
