Customer Reviews

I'm Stunned...
Wow. I mean...I just...wow! This book has everything, literally EVERYTHING! It has been written by someone so passionate about the show, it can make anyone bored with Doctor Who(not that that's possible) fall in love with it again! The work put into this book is phenomenal, and should be recognised as a work of art!
The book contains an amazing amount of interviews, pictures, news reports, episode guides, series 3 previews(not that they're previews any more) and loads more. I can't put it into words, though I'm trying my best! If I could only use one word to describe it, it would have to be...MAGNIFICENT!

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.

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.
