The Handbook Vol 2: The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to the Production of Doctor Who (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781845839420)

Everything you ever wanted to know about the cult BBC Television series Doctor Who (1963-1996). On their first publication, the Doctor Who Handbooks were hailed as the best look behind the scenes of the BBC's cult science fiction show Doctor Who. Now collected in two revised and updated editions, these books are the definitive guide to the background and production of a television classic. Alongside The Television Companion, which The Handbook is designed to complement, they provide just about everything you need to know about the show, its stars, its background, its stories and its monsters. This volume focuses on the fourth to eighth Doctors. There are interviews with companions and script editors, features on locations and costumes, script-to-screen breakdowns of one story from each era ('The Brain of Morbius', 'The Five Doctors', 'Revelation of the Daleks' and 'Dragonfire'), and articles examining every aspect of the show, from the Doctor, to its mythology, to how it was transmitted and marketed. This is the essential companion for every trip you will ever take into the TV universe of classic Doctor Who.
