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 Visual Dictionary (reference book) was an illustrated guide to BBC Wales Doctor Who. As of January 2015, three editions had been published. The inaugural edition was published coincident with the broadcast of Smith and Jones in 2007. A revised edition was released in Matt Smith's first year as the Eleventh Doctor, and a second revised edition was released following Peter Capaldi's first year as the Twelfth Doctor.

2007 edition

The first edition of The Visual Dictionary focused mainly on the first two years of BBC Wales Doctor Who, examing the Ninth Doctor and the early days of the Tenth Doctor.

Notable features

  • The attention to detail is impressive, even including the exhibits in Henry van Statten's collection.
  • The fold-out "Inside the TARDIS" pages are themselves stunning and, for the first time ever, reveal the concept drawings of the whole TARDIS in all its sceptre-shaped glory, and include the "Nerve Centre" (aka console) layout.
