5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide, 25 Jun 2005
This review is from: About Time 1970-1974 Seasons 7 to 11 (About Time; The Unauthorized Guide to Dr. Who (Mad Norwegian Press)) (Paperback)
I purchased this book on the recommendation of a review in a magazine and I didnt regret it.

As a Dr Who fan I round much in this book (and the others in the series) to interest and inform.

Perhaps not the type of book to sit and read in one go, but what episode guide is?

A feature of 'About time' I really enjoy are the essays on a variety of subjects surrounding the series ranging from 'Why is the music so important?' to 'A history of UNIT'.

A most enjoyable series of guides. Recommended for die hards and casual fans alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book so far about the Pertwee era, 15 Jan 2006
By A. A. Moodie "azal1971" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: About Time 1970-1974 Seasons 7 to 11 (About Time; The Unauthorized Guide to Dr. Who (Mad Norwegian Press)) (Paperback)
In this outstanding book, Lawrence Miles and Tat Wood analyse the Jon Pertwee era of Doctor Who story by story. I must admit to having some misgivings beforehand, as Tat Wood is not exactly renowned as a Pertwee fan. I needn't have worried. The authors are overwhelmingly enthusiastic and fair in their assessment of the period. They also follow the example of the now-classic 'Discontinuity Guide' in their approach, combining a great love of the programme with a complete willingness to take the mickey - there are quite a few genuine laugh-out-loud moments in this book.

Above all I really must applaud the authors for the freshness of the book; I've been reading this kind of thing for twenty years now and I really thought that with the Pertwee era having been pored over for so long there wouldn't be anything new to say about it. I was utterly wrong - and there are even some fascinating bits of trivia I'd never read before. There's also a transcription of part of what Pigbin Josh says, and that's worth the price of the book alone.

There are some less welcome aspects. Firstly, the proofreading of this book appears to have been practically non-existent, leading to a lot of irritating mistakes and some unintentional humour such as a "continent" of Daleks attacking Auderley House rather than a contingent. Secondly, there are some alarming errors of fact that the authors really ought to have checked. For instance, Reginald Maudling wasn't Edward Heath's Chancellor, nor was he ever imprisoned, but both howlers are confidently asserted here in the section dealing with 'The Green Death'.

However, these shortcomings are easily outweighed by the wealth of fresh insights Miles and Wood bring to a much-discussed subject. To really prove its worth, reading this book prompted me to dig out Colony In Space and take another look - that's how thought-provoking it is. In my opinion this is the best book ever written about the Jon Pertwee era. On the basis of my enjoyment of this volume I've already ordered their next instalment about the early Tom Baker years and I believe their Hartnell volume is due soon. Let's hope enough DW fans buy them all to ensure that Miles and Wood get to cover the entire series and don't become the David Saunders of the Noughties. I recommend this book unreservedly to fans of Doctor Who, and especially to fans of the Pertwee years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative read for Who fans - highly recommended!, 20 May 2009
By J. Betts - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An extremely well-written book that covers each episode in real detail. The authors clearly have a love for the subject matter, but are not afriad to admit to it's failings - consequently over-the-top acting and dodgy special effects come in for some very funny (and often deserved) criticsm.

The book divides each episode into sections including a summary of the companions and villains, how the episode fits into Doctor Who's 'Lore' continuity, analysis and a critique. I found myself skipping the sections on planets and monsters as the detail was a little over-whelming, but the layout allows you to pick and choose the parts that interest the reader. Consequently I can see myself returning and would consider that re-read value is high.

Overall, I would consider that the book is an invaluable purchase for fans!
