The longest running science fiction television show, with a cult following on a par with Star Trek, the story of Doctor Who is the story of British television over the past four decades. Every taste is catered for in the world of Who, and this guide covers every shocking revelation and melodramatic cliffhanger, every heartache and death, as well as the liberal doses of humor—both intentional and otherwise. With an informative introductory essay, each Doctor's era is put under the microscope with facts and opinions on all the stories. An in-depth reference section details further reading, fascinating and bizarre Doctor Who websites, and a short history of spin-off stories and merchandising.
