Doctor Who The Handbook: The Fourth Doctor: Difference between revisions

|name = The Fourth Doctor Handbook

Like all in the ''Handbook'' series, it is divided into three major sections. The first presents a series of snippets from interviews with principles involved in the creation of the persona of the [[Fourth Doctor]]; the second gives detailed notes about every televised adventure of this Doctor; and the last concerns itself with behind-the-scenes developments during this Doctor's era.

"DOCTOR WHO is the world's longest running science fiction television series. Each handbook provides both a broad overview and a detailed analysis of one phase of the programme's history.

"The volume covers the years from [[1974 (releases)|1974]] to [[1981 (releases)|1981]]. During this time DOCTOR WHO achieved its highest viewing figures in [[Britain]], and became a sensation in the [[United States]]. [[Tom Baker]] played the leading role — he was the longest-serving of the seven actors who have played the Doctor to date — and for many people his portrayal of the Doctor is the definitive one.

"David J Howe, Mark Stammers and Stephen James walker are the authors of [[Doctor Who: The Sixties|DOCTOR WHO — THE SIXTIES]] and [[Doctor Who: The Seventies|THE SEVENTIES]], the complete guide to the programme's early years.

"The Handbook is a must for every DOCTOR WHO fan — and for everyone whose favourite Doctor is the curly-haired chap with the teeth and the long scarf."

This volume includes a particularly detailed examination of the making of ''[[The Brain of Morbius]]''.
