Cover blurb: ‘A brilliant take on the history of Doctor Who. This is an engaging, thoughtful, deeply researched and heartfelt look at our beloved programme which has always reflected and sometimes even prophesied the state of our universe.’ ’Where We Stand, Where We Fall is a very apt title for a book that clearly delineates, possibly for the first time, the six central debates of Doctor Who, the ideas the show keeps returning to. It’s wise, ambitious and funny, and clearly written with an enormous love for and knowledge of the series. It’s the platform upon which much future scholarship will be built, the definitive work on the subject, pulling together a vast number of threads. I adored it.’ Now in its seventh decade as the world’s longest-running science-fiction television show, Doctor Who continues to entertain huge audiences across the planet. Some people have complained that its writing and presentation have become too political but, argues Lizbeth Myles, it has always been a show built on political themes, often with diverse and contradictory points of view. In this fascinating book she illustrates some of the many ideas and politics of Doctor Who, in chapters looking at Nuclear Annihilation, Feminism, Colonialism, Environmentalism, Scientific Responsibility, and Transhumanism. Lizbeth Myles is an award-winning podcaster, writer, and editor. She’s a three time Hugo award finalist: she was nominated twice for her work on the Verity! podcast, and once for editing the Doctor Who essay anthology Chicks Unravel Time. She’s written Doctor Who and Blake’s 7 adventures for Big Finish, and contributed articles to SFX and Doctor Who Magazine. She lives in Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
