Since November of 1963, an eccentric man who has been old and is sometimes young, not to mention everything in between, who walks in eternity via a Police Public Call Box has captivated fans worldwide with his adventures. He has been called the Evil One, a Lonely Angel, and the Oncoming Storm. But, he would introduce himself simply as the Doctor. What makes Doctor Who so fascinating to so many people?

The authors have tackled this question in an absorbing, easy to read volume that like the Time Lord's TARDIS, is bigger on the inside than the outside. Though it is very short, it covers a wide range of subjects from the pilot, The Unearthly Child through Doomsday that ended Season 28. New to Who fans will be able to enjoy this new incarnation twice as much if they read this history, as it clues them in on things they might miss, while long standing fans will find it a treasure of nostalgia. The insights delivered will make you think in a manner that brings a smile to your face.
