In doing so, it interrogates some of the key assumptions concerning the relationship between aesthetics and the politics of identity, that have influenced and informed television drama criticism during this period.

UK Summary: From 1963 to 1989, for the most part at teatime on Saturdays on BBC1, Doctor Who was a British TV institution. The series had its roots in British science fiction but grew to take in many other influences: historical drama, Hammer horror, satire, conspiracy thriller, even pantomime. Over the years, it developed a uniquely eccentric style, at once cosily familiar and cosmically terrifying, and many of its characters, creatures and objects have become iconic – the Doctors and his assistants, the TARDIS, the Time Lords, and a panoply of monsters and villains: Cybermen, Ice Warriors, the Master, and, of course, the Daleks…. Kim Newman’s comprehensive study follows the Doctor’s travels through time and space, placing Doctor Who in the context of science-fiction television, and traces the history of the show through its outstanding stories and its recurring themes, from its highs (Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker) to its lows (K-9, Bonnie Langford, and cancellation) and suggests why the programmer has become an enduring television masterpiece and a cultural phenomenon.

Media and gender adaptation : Regendering, critical creation and the fans / Lucy Irene Baker New York: Bloomsbury Academic,
Call No: 753-08 BAKAuthor: Baker, Lucy Irene Edition: 2023Place: New YorkPublisher: Bloomsbury AcademicPhysDes: 200 pages ; 24 cmSubject: GENDER AND THE CINEMA ; GENDER AND TV ; SHERLOCK HOLMES IN FILMS ; FAN MAGAZINES ; FANS ; [DOCTOR] DR WHO [TV] (UK, 1963-1989, 2005-) ; ELEMENTARY [TV] (US, 2012-) ; GHOSTBUSTERS (US, Ivan Reitman, 1984) ; GHOSTBUSTERS (US, Paul Feig, 2016) Summary: Media and Gender Adaptation examines how fans and professionals change the gender of characters when they adapt existing work. Using research into fans, and case studies on Sherlock Holmes, Ghostbusters and Doctor Who, it illustrates the foundation of the process and ways the works engage with and critique media and gender at a political level. The default maleness of narratives in media are reworked to be inclusive of other points of view. Regendering as an adaptational technique relies on audience familiarity with existing works, however it also reveals an increasing trend in aggressive backlash against interpretations of media that include marginalised and minority communities.
Combining analysis of fanfiction, television and big budget Hollywood productions, Media and Gender Adaptation also analyses fan responses to regendering in popular media. Through demographic surveys and interviews with fans, creators and broader audiences, a combination of playful and serious attitudes to gender are revealed to be part of how transformative fans (professional or not) adapt work. Specific fanfiction examples are analysed alongside professional works to reveal the depth and breadth of fannish play in regendered work and the constraints that professional adaptations are held to. It also reveals a schism in audiences, and those researching media, where the intersection of gender and race are sites of tension – nostalgia combining with expected representation of gender and race to create an aggressive defence of an original work that reiterates the mainstream hierarchies of gender and race. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781501370113Contents: Dedication -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Section 1: Data and theories -- 1.
