Pocket Essentials: Doctor Who
Publisher's summary
"Almost everything you need to know in one essential guide.
"Who is Who? A Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey with two hearts and thirteen lives? A folk hero who enthralled us in the warm glow of our TV sets on dark winter evenings? A rebellious iconoclast who toppled corrupt dictatorships and freed the oppressed? Or a bumbling British eccentric eho fought rubber monsters in a cheap and cheerful BBC kids' show?
"The story of Doctor Who is the story of the hopes and fears of generations of children - and grown-ups too - from the counter culture 60s to the 90s. Along the way there are shock revelations, melodramatic cliff-hangers and liberal doses of humour (intentional or otherwise); but be warned - there is also heart-ache, disappointment and death. Cancelled in 1989, the rumour mill is now in overdrive eith stories of the Time Lord's possible return." -- From the back cover of the first edition
