5.0 out of 5 stars Essential, 31 Oct 2005
By A Customer
All opinions are valid, but I must strongly disagree with the review below. My copy of The Discontinuity Guide, from the original printing in 1995, is so well-thumbed that it now resembles the Dead Sea Scrolls. It would not have been so often referred to if it were in any way a "boring" piece of work. It is most definitely not "drival (sic)", but a well constructed and genuinely useful reference guide. The Discontinuity Guide breaks down each Doctor Who televison story into several sub-headings, including Technobabble, Continuity, Fashion Victims, Goofs, and Dialogue Triumphs, then concludes with a short (sometimes very short!) opinion on the story. The book has a nicely irreverent and polarised angle on Doctor Who; refreshing for a reference book, where the content is often very dry. One may or may not agree with the opinions expressed by the authors, but there is something here to get one's teeth into regardless of that. Essential. Really, it is.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nobody and nothing can stop me now!, 17 Dec 2003
By E. Evans "edwardrussia" (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Discontinuity Guide (Doctor Who) (Paperback)
Great fun and full of trivial information for people like me who just can't get enough Doctor Who. The double entendres and fashion victims sections are a bit stupid, but the goofs and opinions are always interesting. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Irreverent Guide to Classic Who., 14 Sep 2008
This review is from: The Discontinuity Guide (Doctor Who) (Paperback)
This is a great - and unique - guide to the whole run of Classic Who, chronicling, as it does, all the fluffs, goofs and continuity errors that charmingly add to the enjoyment of viewing. It is clearly written by and for people who care for and love the show. Recommended!
