Main Focus

This collected edition updates all previously released Doctor Who Files without the prose fiction, and covers the Tenth Doctor's adventures from The Christmas Invasion up to The Next Doctor. The Test Your Knowledge multiple choice questions are retained but without the foldout flaps of the original volumes.

Publisher's Summary

This collector’s edition contains all fourteen of the original Doctor Who Files and also includes two never before seen files. Discover all there is to know about the Doctor’s travelling companion Donna and his Time Lord Nemesis, The Master.

Contents

Notable Features

  • Lavishly illustrated throughout with photographs from the series with several full page images.

Notes

  • Although ‘updated’ to include content from Series Four, the previously released Doctor’ Files are irregularly updated in places, this is particular problematic with the overlapping nature of the files themselves making this volume a little unfriendly at times with its lack of any progression, and no particular structure to follow through. Most of the Series Four additions are in the final few pages which is a shame as the Children of Earth’s involvement seems to added rather than incorporated in the main files under their specific headings.
  • This collection on its plus side does on occasions reference other adventures like Attack of the Graske and some of the Doctor Who novels and the Master and Donna material is a welcome addition.
  • A blue and silver magnetically bound boxed cover featuring the TARDIS on the cover with back cover text reading “I like that, “Allons-y”. I should say allons-y more often. Look sharp Rose Tyler, Allons-y! and then it would be really brilliant if I met someone called Alonso, ‘cause then I could say Allons-y Alonso every time …”
  • A matching hexagonal sticker on the front declares “The Doctor Who Files Collector’s Edition includes previously unpublished content RRP £30”

Publication History

  • This Collectors Edition hardback only title with a boxed case, was priced £30 (UK).
