Publisher's summary

Of all the Doctor Who stories ever broadcast, two of the most critically acclaimed remain The Caves of Androzani [+]Loading...["The Caves of Androzani (TV story)"], featuring Peter Davison as the Doctor, and Revelation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)"], featuring Colin Baker. Widely hailed by fans of the series as classics, the Director of both of these stories, Graeme Harper, reveals here the behind-the-scenes details of the making of two extraordinary pieces of science fiction.

Adrian Rigelsford has worked closely with Graeme Harper, drawing together a fascinating account of his work on the programme. With contributions from both the cast and the crew, a unique chronicle has been formed of what went on — on both sides of the camera.

With one-hundred-and-fifty previously unpublished photographs and rare behind-the-scenes material, CLASSIC WHO — THE HARPER CLASSICS also offers Graeme Harper’s memories of working on earlier stories that featured Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker’s Doctors, and for the first time provides a very personal account of his involvement in the lost 30th Anniversary story, Template:Ca.
