Doctor Who and the Key to Time

Doctor Who The Key To Time, by Peter Haining, is a year-by-year record celebrating the show's 21st anniversary. The history of the series is explored through key dates. This book is written in the style of a diary, beginning in 1963 and ending in 1984. Haining, through the use of files from the Doctor Who production office, covers a wide range of topics. This book gives details on the many regeneration's of the Doctor, the comings and goings of the numerous companions, and the enemies of the Doctor. Also, Haining discusses the technical aspects of the show. Special effects and programming decisions to name a few. This is a very good book for any Doctor Who fan. There are numerous color pictures and many drawings and sketches submitted by the fans of the show. It was enjoyable being able to see what happened behind the scenes of Doctor Who. There is a chance to read about the thoughts and decisions of the actors and writers of this marvelous show. I also enjoyed reading about the landmarks and historic moments that shaped this wonderful show and I believe that any fan of Doctor Who would also enjoy this book. If you are a Who fan and you can find this book it is definitely worth buying.
