Have you ever wondered how Daleks climb stairs? How Cybermen make little Cybermen? Or where the toilets are on the Tardis?
Doctor Who arrived on TV screens in 1963. Since then, across light years and through millennia, the journeys of the Time Lord have shown us alien worlds, strange life forms, futuristic technology and mind-bending cosmic phenomena. Viewers cowered terrified of Daleks, were amazed with the wonders of time travel, and travelled through black holes into other universes and new dimensions.
The breadth and imagination of the Doctor's adventures have made the show one of science fiction's truly monumental success stories. BBC Focus editor Paul Parsons explains the scientific reality behind the fiction.
Discover:
why time travel isn't ruled out by the laws of physics
the real K-9 ? the robot assistant for space travellers built by NASA
how genetic engineering is being used to breed Dalek-like designer life forms
why before long we could all be regenerating like a Time Lord
the medical truth about the Doctor's two hearts, and the real creature with five of them.

Store description
Formerly known as Journobooks, our original speciality was books about journalism, journalists, newspapers, magazines and other media (hence the old name) and we still have a great stock of hard-to-find books in that field. Over time we have added a wide variety of other collectible gems some of which we sell on behalf of the charity Friends of Morston Church (reg.1099831). Our goal is to offer the best value for money on Abebooks, ie. the lowest price for the condition of the book. We love buying and selling books, so will try to make your buying experience as easy and pleasant as possible.…
