ISBN: 0975944657 ISBN-13: 9780975944653 Publisher: Mad Norwegian Press OUR PRICE: $22.46 Product Type: Paperback Published: December 2007 Annotation: Constituting 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. Written by 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. In particular, Wood dissects 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. As part of this grand opus, About Time 6 examines 'Doctor Who' Seasons 22 to 26 (1985 to 1989) - the end of the show's classic run, starring Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy - as well as the 1996 TV Movie starring Paul McGann. Among other things, About Time 6 answers such vitally important 'Who' questions as 'Is Continuity a Pointless Waste of Time?', 'What are the Oddest Romances in the Programme's History?' and 'Does Paul McGann Count?' |

Contributor Bio(s): Wood, Tat: - Since the far-off days of About Time 7, when most people were reasonably sure what number came immediately before 9, Tat Wood has been working further About Time installments and totally non-Doctor-Who-related works (one of which, World History in Minutes, is available through Quercus Books and all good remaindered book shops). |
