With its unique ability to evolve and adapt more radically than any other fiction, Doctor Who has acted as a mirror to more than six decades of social, technological and cultural change. In the first biography of this central fixture of the British imagination, John Higgs invites us into the Doctor's TARDIS on a journey to discover how ideas emerge and survive despite the odds, how failed monks and war heroes created one of the most successful TV shows in history and why this wonderful wandering time traveller means so much to so many.
'A TARDIS of a book . . . the whole space-time continuum is inside' FRANK COTTRELL BOYCE
'Wonderful! You don't need to be a Whovian to delight at John Higgs's journey through Doctor Who, but you may well be one by the end of the book' ROBIN INCE
