Cover blurb:
This collection of fresh essays addresses a broad range of topics in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who, both old (1963-1989) and new (2005-present). The book begins with the fan — with essays on how the show is viewed and identified with, how fans interact with one another, their reactions to changes, the wilderness years when the program wasn’t in production. The book then turns to look at the ways in which the stories are told (their timeliness, their use of time travel as a device, etc.). After discussing the stories and devices and themes, the essays consider the Doctor’s female companions and their evolution, their function, and how they are changed by their journey with the Doctor.
