This is a work of non-fiction.

Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.

 The Book of Lists was a Doctor Who reference book published by BBC Books.

Publisher's summary

Inside this book, not surprisingly, you will find over 150 lists of information and trivia about Doctor Who, from everyone who has played the Doctor to the crimes of the Master, from the rooms in the TARDIS to spin-off productions.

The book covers all aspects of televised Doctor Who handily subdivided into four convenient sections:

  • Production
Find out how many people played Jo Grant on screen, which actors were used over again by the same directors and much more!
  • Trivia
References to the toilet in Doctor Who, appearances of bicycles, even how many times tea has appeared in the television series!
  • Narrative
Lists include the times the Doctor and friends have fallen asleep, the many disguises the Doctor has adopted on his travels and lots more!
  • The Basics
Including the correct nomenclature for each episode as given on screen!
