Cover blurb:
‘I thought that was non-diegetic.’

The Devil’s Chord (2024), 15th Doctor Ncuti Gatwa’s first journey into history, shows the Beatles eking out a living in a world that has turned its back on music. This book explores the band’s work, their historical context and the importance of music to human culture. It explains why and how Doctor Who made a Beatles episode featuring none of the Beatles’ music, and asks whether the central character can really hear the series’ soundtrack.

Dale Smith has written Black Archives on The Talons of Weng-Chiang, The Greatest Show in the Galaxy and Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead.


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."
