book		Doctor Who : A critical reading of the series London: bfi Publishing, 2005. Call No: 79DOC NEW Author: Kim Newman Place: London Publisher: bfi Publishing PubDate: 2005 PhysDes: 19 cm; 138 cm Series: BFI TV Classics Subject: DOCTOR WHO [TV] (UK, 1963-1989); TELEVISION. 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.
