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 [[Doctor Who (TV story)|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]].
