Cover blurb:
IN THE EARLY 1970s, the BBC decided to launch a series of exhibitions featuring monsters and props from DOCTOR WHO.

Over the next three decades, untold thousands of children (and adults too!) were thrilled by a mix of innovative, exciting and stunning extravaganzas!

For many fans, these exhibitions were their first and only real chance to get close-up to their favourite TV programme ... and the memories they share in this innovative documentary series are bound together by interviews with experts and people who actually worked at them!

Here’s your chance to experience the DOCTOR ON DISPLAY!

During 1986 and 1987 a unique travelling roadshow of DOCTOR WHO props toured across the USA. The brainchild of BRIAN SLOMAN, it filled a large semi-trailer truck which was specially fitted out by JULIE JONES at BBC Enterprises in the UK, before being shipped to America.

Beloved by American fans, THE USA TOUR gave them the chance to see up close some of the most iconic of DOCTOR WHO monsters, plus K9 and Bessie! As the tour progressed, actors from the programme appeared at special fundraising events for PBS television stations.

Here, for the first time, this incredible story is told ... including how fans themselves became part of the show!
