Indispensable, hysterical and brilliant, ''The Discontinuity Guide'' is everything the typical [[television]] reference manual or episode guide isn’t. As well as being a thorough record of every single plot hole, production goof and dialogue blunder and every fascinating tidbit of ''Doctor Who'' history and continuity, ''The Discontinuity Guide'' is a brilliant attempt to stitch [[26 (number)|26]] years of television history into a coherent narrative. Well-thought out and credible explanations are offered for the seemingly irreconcilable or merely obscure bits of the mythos, making this an essential reference for the longtime fan and a hilarious introduction for the new one. | Indispensable, hysterical and brilliant, ''The Discontinuity Guide'' is everything the typical [[television]] reference manual or episode guide isn’t.

When it was originally published, the ''Discontinuity Guide'' was the first attempt to bring together all of the various fictional information seen in [[BBC TV]]'s ''DOCTOR WHO'', and then present it in a coherent narrative. Often copied but never matched, this is the perfect guide to the 'classic' Doctors. | When it was originally published, the ''Discontinuity Guide'' was the first attempt to bring together all of the various fictional information seen in [[BBC TV]]'s ''DOCTOR WHO'', and then present it in a coherent narrative.
