Then again, I came into Doctor Who in 2007 when the New Series had established itself and the Wilderness Years were well and truly over. Looking back at that gap between televised Doctor Who that listed between December 1989 and March 2005, it is sometimes hard for me to understand how it could be called the “Wilderness Years.” There was one book after another virtually every month, Big Finish audios coming out monthly from 2000, a new issue of Doctor Who Magazine coming out every month and so forth. They're clearly the same Doctor Who, whatever anyone might say to the contrary. Who, even in death, can mess with events. That relic being.the corpse of a future Doctor, whose adventures in the meantime have left his biodata even more valuable than it already was. For all that he complains about Moffat's overuse of the Doctor's reputation as a weapon in itself, or the tendency to upgrade the Doctor into an all-round superhero, this is the story of the great powers of the galaxy (and some less celebrated parties trying to get on to that level) gathering to bid on a relic of great and unspecified powers. You can see why a man might be bitter, though, when he came up (in the space of this one book) with the Time War, a human female TARDIS, and a story in which the Doctor's corpse is the starting point.īut then, some of the stuff he doesn't like is here too.
As part of this grand opus, About Time 5 examines Doctor Who Seasons 18 to 21 (1980 to 1984)-the end of Tom Baker's time with the show, the whole of the Peter Davison era and the introduction of Colin Baker as the Doctor.A startling reminder that, before he was a ranting man on the internet, Lawrence Miles wrote startlingly good Doctor Who. In particular, Miles and Wood dissect the politics and social issues that shaped the show during its unprecedented 26-year run (from 1963 to 1989), detailing how the issues of the day influenced this series. Written by Lawrence Miles (Faction Paradox) and long-time sci-fi commentator Tat Wood, About Time focuses on the continuity of Doctor Who (its characters, alien races and the like), but also examines the show as a work of social commentary. OverviewConstituting the largest reference work on Doctor Who ever written, the six-volume About Time strives to become the ultimate reference guide to the world's longest-running science fiction program.
