Product description:
Doctor Who is not just another television programme. It is a familiar and much-loved British institution that after more than two decades still continues to enjoy amazing success both at home and abroad.
With extensive reference to the files kept in the Doctor Who Production Office bestselling author Peter Haining demonstrates how much a part of British life the programme has become, and how the impact of this extraordinary phenomenom has travelled further afield.
He traces the many changes the series has undergone since the first episode was broadcast in November 1963, and how this initially modest TV series pioneered techniques used in multi-million dollar films such as Star Wars.
Along with twenty-four pages of colour photographs this splendidly illustrated volume includes drawing and sketches from Doctor Who fans from all over the world.
