"From 1963 to 1989, for the most part at teatime on Saturdays on BBC1, Doctor Who was a British TV institution. The series had its roots in British science fiction but grew to take in many other influences: historical drama, Hammer horror, satire, conspiracy thriller, even pantomime." "Kim Newman's comprehensive study follows the Doctor's travels through time and space, placing Doctor Who in the context of science-fiction television, and traces the history of the show through its outstanding stories and its recurring themes, from its highs (Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker) to its lows (K-9, Bonnie Langford, and cancellation) and suggests why the programme has become an enduring television masterpiece and a cultural phenomenon."--BOOK JACKET.

There have been whole series of books focusing on the production on Doctor Who over the years, so Newman is quick to simply reference these and list them for anyone interested in further reading, but he takes a look at the show as a whole, looking into the story peaks and inevitable valleys hit when certain writers and producers either ran out of creative steam or just didn't care enough to make it work.
As a definite fan of the show, Newman spares no punches when it comes to his least favorite Who moments through the years (especially when it comes to K-9).
If you are a fan of Doctor Who, new or old, and enjoy deep critical analysis of film and television, this is definitely a book worth picking up.
I would be interested in an updated version that explored Newman's thoughts on the rest of the revival series, however, especially how he thinks Moffat has held up as showrunner after Davies. ( )
