Cover blurb:
‘This is my favourite kind of jazz, straight blowing.’

Doctor Who faced, rather than celebrated, its twenty-fifth birthday with a reduced episode count, an even further reduced budget and with a question mark hanging over its very existence.

Silver Nemesis was the official anniversary story, a curious, thematically complex mix of Cybermen, sorcery, jazz and chess, with the Doctor facing off against fugitive Nazis against a backdrop of then contemporary England in all its opulence and decay.

This Black Archive looks at the story’s uniquely troubled production circumstances, and how a creatively united production team overcame the odds to achieve significant creative renewal, and pointed the way to its as yet unimagined far future.


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 (Doctor Who). But they actually manage it. Treat your bookshelf."
— Doctor Who Magazine
