It has enjoyed over fifty years of popularity, and continues to thrill children and adults all over the world. Now, noted \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e historian and writer David J Howe, presents his own views and thoughts on the Smith and Capaldi eras of the show. Following the upswing of popularity during David Tennant's tenure, the programme focussed more on internal continuity, and presented a mercurial, unpredictable Doctor in Matt Smith, before introducing an unhappy older Doctor with Peter Capaldi. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEvery episode, including some of the special mini-episodes, are analysed and reviewed, and the path of the Doctor's adventures through the series is charted. From the highlights to the low points, David J Howe considers the show against its broad history both as a viewer at the time, and also with the benefit of hindsight, with a current re-watch of the episodes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA marvellous romp through seven years of time travel ... come along and enjoy the ride! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'As always David gives thoughtful, balanced views. Some you will agree with some you may not, as I do, but there is no destructive criticism. It provokes talking points and makes you reappraise some of the less favoured episodes. I love this type of book so have given it maximum stars. This is a review type book not an in depth study so don't expect detailed explanations of Mr. Moffat's more intricate plot details, just enjoy what David has to say on his favourite subject.'
