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 [[Sixth 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 will provide both a broad overview and a detailed analysis of one phase of the programme's history.

"Colin Baker's tenure as the Doctor was brief, but coincided with one of DOCTOR WHO's most turbulent times. The programme's audience ratings were falling, its future was in doubt - particularly during an eighteen-month absence from the screen - and, in the end, Colin Baker's departure was abrupt and marked by recriminations. The Sixth Doctor's personality seemed to reflect this uncertainty: he was moody and unpredictable."
