Product Description

Doctor Who is a television classic which returned to TV screens in 2005 in a freshly-minted new form. Russell T. Davies gave the show a contemporary refit while retaining all the traditional strengths, making it the TV event of the year. Stunning special effects, mature storytelling and great characters combine to make a thrilling ride through space and time, best viewed from behind the sofa.

Customer Reviews

Thought provoking
An intriguing little book written to tie-in with the relaunch of the BBC's Time travelling drama series. The writers provide some interesting hypotheses and opinions, but this is probably not going to be for you if you're an atheist or think that there's no place for religion or faith in Doctor Who.

Fantastic
As A long time doctor who fan and christian i really enjoyed reading this book, it was very intresting to see how God relates to Doctor who. It is written in a very intresting and funny way. If you like this book i advised " Be More Like Jesus by watching T.V" also by top Authour Steve Couch

Putting the 'fun' back into 'fundamentalism'...
Better than Cartmell's God-awful tome but pretty much a Trojan Horse for the 'intelligent design' lobby, this book drafts in the good Doctor's adventures to attempt to demonstrate that God is at work in the Doctor's Universe and therefore ours too.

Unfortunatley they forget that the real 'intelligent designers' of the Whonivers are not supernatural entities but the costume and prop designers listed in the credits.

Ray Cusick might have been a genius with a sink-plunger but he isn't God.
