FULLY revised and updated, this version of The Doctor Who Encyclopedia contains everything from the series’ reboot in 2005 up to the end of the latest series – Matt Smith’s second.

They are calling this ‘the ultimate guide’ to the series, and it really is.

It’s not just the TV episodes that are covered either; the information includes the charity specials, animated episodes, computer games and the web-only TARDISodes.

Lavishly illustrated with photographs and artwork, this is definition of ‘in-depth’. There is nothing left out amongst its’ 400 pages.

Gary Russell is the perfect person to compile this encyclopedia being as he is, one of the script-writing team behind the show as well as Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.

He has also been the editor of Doctor Who Magazine and has produced audio versions of Doctor Who, so he knows what he’s talking about.

This is a book that you wouldn’t just want to dip into it from time to time like any other encyclopedia – you’d want to read it from beginning to end.
