5.0 out of 5 stars Behind-the-scenes, analytical look at Dr Who's final decade., 23 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Eighties (Dr Who) (Hardcover)
The third/final volume in the "Decades" series of books on Doctor Who. This book does not disappoint. It reveals information on the closing of the 4rth Doctor's era to the transition to the 5th, 6th, and 7th Doctor era's respectfully. It gives detail to the BBC's decreased interest in the series by the mid 1980's. The result of which caused the 18 month haitus (or near cancellation), the reduction of episodes produced per season, BBC's crude fallout on Colin Baker, decrease in viewers and the quiet end the series had with the "Survival" story. All this was supposedly the most silent era of Dr Who as the BBC's own TV magazine RadioTimes didn't really cover the show on its issues or covers anymore (not since the 1983 story "The Five Doctors"). The outrage of parents and TV critics on the level of violence during the Colin Baker era. But its not just about the show, it also covers the K9 spinoff, and the series' loyal fans' growth, The Ultimate Adventure stage play and merchandise. If you've read the Dr Who Handbook series, then you'll want to read this as well. All by the same authors who've defined themselves as the definitive historians on Dr Who.
