Cover blurb:
"Oh marvellous. You’re going to kill me. What a finely tuned response to the situation."
THE FIFTH DOCTOR In this sixth volume of essays adapted from the acclaimed blog TARDIS Eruditorum you’ll find a critical history of the Peter Davison and Colin Baker eras of Doctor Who. TARDIS Eruditorum tells the ongoing story of Doctor Who from its beginnings in the 1960s to the present day, pushing beyond received wisdom and fan dogma to understand the story not just as the story of a geeky sci-fi show but as the story of an entire tradition of mystical, avant-garde, and politically radical British culture. It treats Doctor Who as a show that is really about everything that ever happened, and everything that ever will. This volume focuses on the bulk of the troubled John Nathan-Turner era, looking at its connections with soap operas, the Falklands, gaming, and more. Every blog post from the Davison and Baker eras has been revised and updated from its original form, along with ten brand new essays exclusive to this collected edition, including a look at who’s fault the cancellation was, the influence of big budget musicals on Trial of a Time Lord, and an interview with Rob Shearman about the Davison and Baker eras and his efforts writing for the latter with Big Finish. Plus you’ll learn: The secret Norse roots of Terminus. How the Morbius Doctors reveal the truth about the Fifth Doctor’s regeneration. What it really means to be a renegade Time Lord. "I shall beat it into submission with my charm."
