The story of Dr. Who and thus the story of British TV in the final third of this century - from the counter-culture 60s to the shallow waters of the 90s. Along the way there are shock revelations and liberal doses of humour. As well as an introductory essay, each Doctor's era is put under the microscope with facts and informed opinion. There is an in-depth reference section detailing further reading, websites and a short history of spin-off stories and merchandising.
