Reviews
Over its sixty-year history, Doctor Who has inspired a vast array of commentary. The Doctor Who Reader gathers together a commendably representative range of such writing, academic and fan, classic and newly commissioned. An essential addition to the scholarship's unfolding text. -- Una McCormack, scriptwriter and author of Doctor Who: The Target Storybook (2019)
