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.

Colin Baker's tenure as the Doctor was brief, but coincided with one of DOCTOR WHO's most turbulent times.  The programme's audience rating were falling, it's future was in doubt - particularly  during an eighteen month absence from the screen - and, in the end, Colin Baker's departure was abrupt and marked by recriminations.  The Sixth Doctor's personality seemed to reflect this uncertainty: he was moody and unpredictable.

This is the second in the Handbook series by David J Howe, Mark Stammers and Stephen James Walker, the team that produced THE SIXTIES, the definitive book about DOCTOR WHO's early years.  They are now working on a third Handbook, and on THE SEVENTIES.

THE HANDBOOK: THE SIXTH DOCTOR contains a profile of Colin Baker, an analysis of the development of the Sixth Doctor, background information about the threats to the programme, and a critical review of all the TV stories, including what is known of the 1985 series that was never made.

  • 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.
