A brilliant attempt to stitch the 26 years of Doctor Who into a coherent narrative. This is an esssential reference for fand and a hilarious introduction for newcomers.Tags

Wonderful for all those goofs and mistakes that you then try and spot next time you watch a story, but 90% of which you had never previously spotted!

Yeah, yeah, I know that almost all of the text is also available on-line. But there's nothing like dead trees (especially if you are in the middle of a long plane flight). This is a great compilation of odd facts about the series, including most particularly an attempt to introduce consistency to such matters as the Doctor's age, his academic qualifications, the histories of the Cybermen and of the Daleks, and Mars. Interesting to see the foreshadowing of two of the Ninth Doctor's more memorable lines - "Hairdryer!" ("The Web Planet") and "Run!" (Second Doctor, passim). And there's a certain amount of "Yeah, that was my favourite bit".
