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.
Doctor Who Character Encyclopedia was a fully illustrated reference book by Jason Loborik, Annabel Gibson & Moray Laing. It covers characters featured in the series' nearly fifty years of Doctor Who, from "An Unearthly Child" airing in 1963 to The Snowmen in 2012.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Meet all of the most important characters from the entire history of Doctor Who, including every Doctor and companion. Packed with fascinating facts and statistics for characters from the Abzorbaloff to the Zygons, and with large cut-out poses and stunning stills from the programme, this is the ultimate compendium of Doctor Who characters.
