If there's one thing in the entertainment world I love more than Doctor Who I've yet to find it. I would have never have guessed that a boring night of channel surfing nine years ago would have led to the love affair that I have with the Doctor Who series. Since discovering the series in 2005, I haven't missed watching an episode and have even went back in the archives to watch the Classic Doctor Who that originally aired in 1963.With 50 years of rich history it's easy to find something Who rela...

If you're a fan of 'Doctor Who', whether it's the classic series or the new rebooted series, I would recommend picking up this book, it covers it all and then some! Reading more like a digest of everything Whovian from the last 50 years, this hardcover book has it all.From the very first episode, and all the way up until the 2012 Christmas special, the 384 pages are bursting with the facts and figures from the entire series. It's all presented very well in a hardback volume, with a cover illustr...

If you want to know anything trivial about the world's greatest sci-fi show, this book has it. Did you know it would take you over 362 hours to watch every episode and mini-sode? Seriously--and that's only calculated up to "The Snowmen." There's been a whole season, 50th anniversary, and new Doctor since then! And did you know that the sonic screwdriver does enough things to fill, like, 3 whole pages? And the first TARDIS was only replaced because the first one basically collapsed on Lis Sladen'...

It is the 54th Anniversary of Doctor Who today, and coincidentally, I've been binge-watching the episodes (for what must be the hundredth time). I can't help it, I'm slightly obsessed. I started watching Doctor Who quite by accident, in 2009. It was a random David Tennant episode (well, now I know it was The Family of Blood), and I just thought it was another weird show about weird people. I was, however, especially struck by the line "the fury of the Timelord." Anyway, I googled the show, start...

This is a good book if you like statistics,who said or did what,why they said/did it and to what effect.All there is to know about the first fifty years of the series,episodes,Tardises,(Tardi?),sonic screwdrivers,companions and most importantly the various incarnations of the Doctor and lots of info you wouldn't even think of were it not for this book.As has been said in other reviews,this is not so much a book to read from cover to cover - more a book full of facts,figures and details - a book

An inventive way of celebrating the science-fiction phenomenon. This is a solid and interesting Doctor Who trivia book which is let down by a few crippling flaws. My biggest complaint would have to be overall design, it would have been benefited from some creative structure and colour in places, there are too many pages of just dates in a spreadsheet like format, wasting space in an overly cramped book, it could have been so much more. This book seems to be for Doctor Who enthusiasts who have, a...

A very comprehensive guide to all things Doctor Who. From companions, monsters, all the various players and all the linkages it's all here.If you are a Whovian you need this Bible of Who.Recommended

Oh my giddy aunt! Where to begin? This tome is chockablocked with ... well, everything! Oh course, that's what trivia books are all about. And this is gem for any Whovians out there who are looking for ... well, who traveled with the Doctor longest. What was the first thing the Doctor said to Ian and Barbara or the last thing he said to Adric. The material is presented in several different ways, usually determined by the type of material and how best it would be presented. And every page is fill...

I highly recommend this book to Whovians. It talks about Doctors 1 to 11 and includes their first and last words. I like how it talks about 50 years of the show. If you want to learn about parts of the TARDIS then this is a good book for you. It also is good because if you want to watch the doctors first and last episodes, then the section, Doctors by Numbers section is also quite good. In the section, Who's Who- The Twelve Doctors, it tells you the actors name, when they were born, and when the...

This book, packed with facts, figures and stories from 50 years of the TV show Doctor Who, is a FUN book! I just can't stop reading it. There were some trivia that I never knew and it's a delight surprise! Of course, there were some things in the book I disagreed with but that's a part of the fun. I'd not be surprised if future non-fiction/reference Doctor Who books were spawned from this book (it certainly gives you an idea what you could write about as a non-fiction work)!I think I'll have to

As a Doctor Who fan, Who-ology was a great read.It is full of facts and figures up to the 2012 Christmas Special, although it could be updated, there is enough in there to improve my knowledge of the classic era, as well as adding to my knowledge of NuWho.I would recommend this book to hardcore fans, as it includes stories from all the Doctors, all forms of the TARDIS and the Sonic Screwdriver, the actors real names and stage names, as well as birth dates/death dates for those who are sadly no l...

A book for die-hard fans. Treats the old and new Who testaments as seamless whole. If I can borrow from objected oriented programming lingo, this is "aspect-oriented" trivia, comprised in large measure of lists of topics that cross-cut 50 years of episodes; the kinds of lists that owe their existence to fan boy crowd sourcing.

This was not what I was hoping it’d be. There are some fun facts and tidbits, and I particularly enjoyed the bios about the companions and villains, but it’s mostly a bunch of silly (or technical) stats and lists that I personally don’t care about. I wanted more depth. I think I’ll start looking for some better Doctor Who books.

Great book! It gave me all the information I still didn't know about the Doctor Who world, plus it's ironic and you can stay hours reading it without getting bored.Only one flaw: Doctor Who has gone further since this book was relased, so some things are missing.

3,5*I wanted to love this book so bad, but I found myself to be skimming loads of the information. Most things just didn't really interest me, probably because I haven't seen anything of Classic Who. However, the things that I DID like, I really loved. 40 ways to defeat a Dalek? Amazing.

An utter fascinating read into everything Doctor Who related. It contains everything a fellow Whovian needs to know about anything and everything Who related. I picked up some facts I didn't know, and the book itself felt like a trip through time and space.

Perfect for every Whovian! The only thing is, it was written before the 50th Anniversary, just so y'all know.

Call it "the biggest book of everything" you could possibly list/compile about "Doctor Who" over the past 50 years. Facts, factoids, fiction, gossip...this is the ultimate primer. If you're still a geek in training, this is a fantastic bible to the entire series. If you're a geeky jedi master such as myself, this is a warm remembrance of things well known & facts refreshed...all enhanced by some fantastic black and white artwork. A book that is an endless joy to browse.

Very disappointed. Much of it was very trivial (like what other actors starred in a Harry Potter movie). Very little on the history or inspiration of the show. Even when they decided to discuss the history of the actors on it, they were each given about three to four paragraphs.

The book is very interesting though there are some annoying errors such as one of the dates are backwards (January 2nd and January first of the same year) but seeing as how many interesting things there are its best to forget the errors. I would say about 95% interesting and 5% annoying.
