The Making of Doctor Who by Terrance Dicks

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is a Young Adult volume, and much of it may seem superficial, such as the summaries of the Doctor’s adventures to that point. I found a copy of the First edition, published in 1972, which was in the middle of Jon Pertwee’s run as the Doctor. A Second Edition was published in 1975 and includes some of Tom Baker, and some other changes. The biggest value for having this is that it gives a lot of good behind-the-scenes material on how the rehearsals are run, how the special effects are organized, and so on. It is all at the YA level of course, but if you can pick up a copy without spending too much money I would consider it.
