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.

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.
