DOCTOR WHO
THE HANDBOOK
DOCTOR WHO - Doctor by Doctor


DOCTOR WHO is the worlds longest-running science fiction television series.  Each handbook will provide both a broad overview and a detailed analysis of one phase of the programme's history.

Sylvester McCoy brought the mystery back to DOCTOR WHO.  With his companions Mel, and later the irrepressible Ace, he battled the Rani, Daleks, Cybermen, Haemovores and all manner of other alien horrors to bring justice to the universe, and perhaps to enjoy a nice cup of tea once the fighting was over.  Ace, on the other hand, just wanted to blow things up, and it took the Doctor's influence to shape and focus her energies so that she emerged as arguably the most popular of all the Doctor's companions.

This book is an in-depth study of Sylvester McCoy's tenure as the Doctor, including a profile of the actor, a critical summary of each story in which he starred, and much, much more.

In addition, this volume looks at what happened to DOCTOR WHO following its cancellation as a regular BBC production in 1989, with extensive coverage of the 1996 telemovie which featured Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor and which introduced Paul McGann as the mercurial and bohemian eighth Doctor.

Close to 100,000 copies of the DOCTOR WHO Handbooks have been sold to date and together they comprise the most in-depth and authoritative exploration of the DOCTOR WHO phenomenon yet published.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
