This is an accounting of the year to year happenings in the BBC show of Doctor Who. It chronicles the major cast changes, production innovations, and public reception and perception of the show. There are many illustrations, and some photos during the first 20 years of the show. Although interesting, I wish it had dwelt more on the storylines and characters of the stories. It was kind of interesting to read about the controversies it raised in its early years with all the "violence" and "frightening" scenes. Considering the modern shows, the old ones seem so tame! (

Book description

Doctor Who is not just another television programme. It is a familiar and much-loved British institution that after more than two decades still continues to enjoy amazing success both at home and abroad. With extensive references to files kept in the Doctor Who Production Office Peter Haining demonstrates how much a part of British life the programme has become, and how the impact of this extraordinary phenomenon has travelled further afield. He trace the many changes the series has undergone since the first episode was broadcast in November 1963, and how this initially modest TV series pioneered techniques used in multi-million dollar films such as Star Wars.
