The eleventh issue of The Essential Doctor Who, subtitled Adventures in Space, was centred on space travel in Doctor Who.
Publisher's summary
"Space, the final frontier. Final, because it wants to kill us..."
The TARDIS, doesn't just travel through time — stories set in space have been an essential part of Doctor Who for six decades. The inhospitable void between the stars as served as the backdrop to epic space operas and nerve-racking thrillers, while harbouring some of the most dangerous adversaries the Doctor has ever encountered.
This lavish publication navigates a revealing course through the space lanes of Doctor Who, with exclusive interviews, rare images, and guides to some of the most memorable episodes.
