Product Description
"Doctor Who: The Legend Continues" is a large format, lavishly illustrated paperback book, published to celebrate the exciting new phase of the UK's most popular science-fiction series. Fully updated with exclusive new series material, this epic publication takes the reader on a journey through five decades of TV history, covering every one of the TV stories. Each entry includes a summary of events, new facts about the characters and fascinating behind-the-scenes information. Stunningly illustrated with a vast collection of photographs, including previously unseen pictures from archives and private collections, this book is a must-have - not only for die-hard "Doctor Who" fans, but for those who have been thrilled by the new series and anyone who has a fondness for the show. As well as providing a unique overview of the series, it includes features on the make-up, special effects and merchandise that have all contributed to the "Doctor Who" legend. Ranging from our first glimpse of the TARDIS in a junkyard on a cold November evening in 1963 to the current Doctor, Christopher Eccleston, "Doctor Who: The Legend Continues" is a comprehensive, stylish and evocative guide to five decades of tea-time time travel.

Format:Paperback
A truly comprehensive BBC overview of all things Doctor Who.In short this book is something of a bible consisting of story summaries from each episode,including the 10th Doctor's stunning debut,an appraisal of each Doctor, a potted history of this groundbreaking series, loads of trivia and lots of glossy pictures!
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This well priced book is one of many updated following the amazing return to the small screen of Doctor Who in the guise of Christopher Ecclestone.
Although at first glance this appears to be "merely" a complete episode guide, like the TARDIS itself it contains far more inside.
Rather than mechanically giving cast and synopses for stories it sets a context within the overall story arc and gives information you won't get on Episode Guide web sites.
This is the one to buy!

Format:Paperback
You don't own the original Dr Who : The Legend, or if you really want the updates of the ninth Doctor. The book has halved in price from the original hard back but has only gained around 20 pages. The original info does not seem to have been updated except with some new pictures. The line is still at the end of the chapter on the Dr.Who Movie stating that this was the last time Dr.Who was seen on British TV even though it then goes on to detail the ninth Doctors episodes. If I didn't own the original book I would have given this 5 stars but as it is a poorly updated version I had to mark it down to 4.
