Cover blurb: ‘Evolution goes in quantum leaps, but it doesn’t go that fast.’ Full Circle (1980) exemplifies a new production team’s vision at a time for profound change for Doctor Who, rejecting the fantasy of previous years and putting science — in this case, evolution — at the heart of the series. Or does it? This book puts Full Circle under the microscope and discovers a mixed heritage of discredited science, pseudoscience and mysticism, in a story which affects the evolution of the series itself. John Toon is a writer, blogger and organiser in New Zealand SF fandom. THE BLACK ARCHIVE: Book-length looks at single Doctor Who stories from 1963 to the present day “A grandly ambitious thing to attempt with something as exhaustively detailed as (Who). But they actually manage it. Treat your bookshelf." —Doctor Who Magazine |
