An Overview of the First Two Decades of "Doctor Who"

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

During the early 1990's, I checked this book out through interlibrary loan at my college's campus library. I read and enjoyed the book a great deal. Later, I checked it out a few more times. When I saw that a used copy of this book was available through Amazon, I decided to purchase it. The copy I received was in very good condition. I was very satisfied with the purchase.

The book contains a lot of information and photographs from the first 20 years of the British science-fiction television series, "Doctor Who." For a true "Doctor Who" fan, the book is a "must-have." The book describes the different eras of the show and tells a few stories about the show's early history. The book also includes an episode guide.

Overall, I recommend the book. There are better books on the history of "Doctor Who;" but, this book contains a lot of nice photographs and stories from the TV show; and, it provides a nice overview of the show.

The Ultimate Doctor Who Book.

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2000

I first read Doctor Who A Celebration way back in 1984. Back when Doctor Who was popular in the United States. Back when there was a Doctor Who convention to attend every couple of months. Attending conventions was loads of fun, and so was reading this book. A Celebration was written by Haining as a tribute to the success of this remarkable program. This book covers all of the important aspects of the show.
The first third of this book covers the first five doctors. There are articles on each Doctor, as well as articles written by each of the Doctors. They give their unique perspectives on the show and the role they played in its success. Next, the book covers a variety of Doctor Who facts. The TARDIS, K9, the Master, Gallifrey, the companions, and articles from the producers and creators of the show are all here. The final portion of the book is entitled The Whoniverse. It is a twenty year travel log of the Doctor's adventures. This is the best part of the book. It lists each episode. The episode is described and small production facts are given. This is not all of the topics that are covered by this remarkable book. There is still much, much more that is worth reading. If you are a Doctor Who fan this book is a must have. It is a great book covering the first twenty years of the show.

Doctor Who: A Celebration

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2003

This is a lovely book that details everything one would ever want to know about the first two decades of Doctor Who. It includes commentary from various producers of the show, fascinating biographies of each of the first five Doctors, and even an article by each of the five actors about their thoughts on Dr. Who. It is a well-written and extremely infomative book.
Plus it has photographs of Peter Davison.

Very nostalgic

This book introduced me to all of the basic facts of Dr. WHO back in the mid 90s after catching a repeat on tv. It covers the first 20 years of the show running up to "The Five Doctors". This is far better than any of the Annuals that were released at the time, its packed with pictures, has a full story by story review, decent profiles for every companion, even Kamelion!!

Highly recomended
