This Special Edition gathers together the best of these interviews as the cast and crew themselves recall their part in the legend of ''Doctor Who'', making for a frank, forthright, and insightful memoir – in turns funny, poignant, provocative, and surprising. To illustrate their story we have selected hundreds of amazing pictures – iconic images from the BBC archives, alongside less familiar shots from private collections. | This Special Edition gathers together the best of these interviews as the cast and crew themselves recall their part in the legend of ''Doctor Who'', making for a frank, forthright, and insightful memoir – in turns funny, poignant, provocative, and surprising.

This volume covers one of the most creative and innovative periods in the history of the series, beginning with the first appearance of the [[Seventh Doctor]], [[Sylvester McCoy]]. It follows the events of the late 1980s, when the Doctor was redefined as being ‘more than just a [[Time Lord]]’ and a Machiavellian figure who was prepared to use his companion, [[Ace]] as a pawn in his fight against evil. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, find out why the powers at the BBC decided to end the run of the UK’s longest running science-fiction show – and how a new series of novels, a [[Dimensions in Time|Children in Need Special]], radio adventures and made-for-video productions filled the gap left behind by the TV series. And discover how the series made its comeback with [[Paul McGann]] as the [[Eighth Doctor]] in the 1996 TV Movie – as Doctor Who simply refused to die … | This volume covers one of the most creative and innovative periods in the history of the series, beginning with the first appearance of the [[Seventh Doctor]], [[Sylvester McCoy]].
