Description:  One-off companion volume to The Black Archive series, covering the 2013 docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time.

Cover blurb:
‘The following programme is based on actual events. It’s important to remember, however, that you can’t rewrite history. Not one line. Except, perhaps, when you embark on an Adventure In Space And Time...’

An Adventure in Space and Time skillfully explores the early years of Doctor Who, depicting pioneering programme makers like Verity Lambert, Waris Hussein and Sydney Newman and the great success, and emotional departure, of lead actor William Hartnell. This special Archive studies the docudrama’s techniques, and charts its insights and references, ranging across Doctor Who from key historical stories to the show’s relationship with BBC idents.

David Rolinson wrote a study of the work of filmmaker Alan Clarke and co-edited The Art of Invective, a collection of Dennis Potter’s non-fiction writing.


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
