Doctor Who: Journey Through Time

by Brenda Apsley, Lesley Scott, Charles Pemberton

When Doctor Who first appeared on British TV screens more than twenty years ago, the series was scheduled to run for six weeks, but such was the amazing popularity of the time-traveller's adventures that the program is still running...

Through various regenerations into men of very different appearance and character the Doctor has thrilled millions of fans all over the world, and the series is now the world's longest-running TV sci-fi series.

In this new collection of adventures the Doctor is featured in his many guises, travelling through the time-space vortex in the familiar Tardis to battle the forces of evil in its many forms...

Reviews

[Peter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Isn't growing up boring that is why we read for fun... AND this was hours of fun, old comic strips and short stories of dubious quality but with such a strong triggering of cherished memories. I did time travel but not for nostalgia, but for the pleasant memories it evoked of mum and dad and a happy childhood

A wonderful compilation of the best stories from the world distrbutors annuals.

I thought this was a fun way to introduce the doctor to kids. I wish there was a whole set of these books - one per doctor!

[Daniel Kukwa · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Doctor Who Annuals from 1964 to 1986 were completely and utterly bonkers. But this collection of stories spanning two decades gives a fascinating taste of how the stories developed. This is the ultimate, curated artifact, written by a series of did-they-ever-see-Doctor-Who?-authors, and assembled into a collection where the line between golden nostalgia and "good lord!" was constantly blurred.

A trip through time in two ways. featuring stories with the first to the (then current) sixth Doctor, the stories also develop in sophistication as they go, and characterisation. Presumably lifted from Doctor Who annuals, this is a great time capsule of doctor who fiction.

[Hazel Went · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book: with its short stories, it is great both for those who have little time (or memory) for longer stories, and for those who eat stories and binge-read several at once. The styles of narrative were different across the book, and covered the first six doctors. Very enjoyable.
