About time
This is a wonderfully detailled book, behind the scenes stuff about the two new seasons and the 2005 christmas episode, with even a sneak peak at season three and The Runaway Bride. It has quotes from the production group, and the actors and interesting tidbits about the filming of the series.
Most interesting this the section about casting the main characters and styling them. Each episode is looked at, with the two parters having extra pages, because they are obviously longer!
A nice guide to the backstory and filming of new Who, with lots of interesting pictures. I only wish there were a few larger pictures.

A must-have for fans of the show
I was a little late buying this as obviously series 3 has now been and gone, but still, what a marvellous book! It goes very in-depth with how Doctor Who came to be resurrected, how the cast were assembled, what went into the set up, plus full info on every episode of the first two series, not to mention more colour photos than you can shake a sonic screwdriver at! If you are a Doctor Who nut like me, and love a good informative read, you will love this.

A great read
I ordered this book after hearing it recommended. I must say it was a pleasant surprise. Even two years after it is was published I still came across anecdotes that I had not heard before ... Very entertaining ... Who knew that David Tennant's suit jackets were made of trousers???
