Reviews

[Sophie Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

I heard about this book and i decided to buy it.
Its certainly diffrent than i thought it would be but thats no bad thing.
The book is set up into 3 sections entitled Trivia, production, and narrative and i say that trivia is the best section as the lists are the silliest and worthless. (Did you know that the word S*it is said in timelash)and production is in my opinion the worst as its mostly just about Production(suprise) which i dont find very intresting but there are still some very good lists in this section.
The writers write in a very humours way as if they are at times taking the mickey out of the book. I'd say that this is the book for every doctor who triva lover anywhere. But if you hate triva definitely avoid this. But overall I'll say this is an enjoybale little book of lists and worth buying.

A fun Doctor Who reference guide and a nice book just to flick through. Learned a few new things I didn't know.

Lots of trivia such as Production Pseudonyms, facts on the stories, Doctors, Companions, Spin off productions, Props, Costumes, Stories affected by BBC strikes, cast changes, story script changes and more.

Picked it up recently for 50p. You can find this book very cheap on the internet.
