I'm back, with a vengeance and this time I'm reviewing a book celebrating 50 years of 'Doctor Who' written by the fans of the show, all edited by Lewis Christian in a very well made tome which is a fitting tribute to the show.
Each page of this book is devoted to one story of the show and now I'm not going to pick any particular articles as all the ones I have read have been made with the love of the show in mind and it certainly does show. Surprisingly this book also covers some extra material like sketches and charity specials and I've even learnt some scenes from 'The Curse of Fatal Death' which didn't make the final cut that I never knew of before and I find that particular interesting, even more surprising is that some brave soul has managed to write an article on one of the many failed attempts of a 'Doctor Who' video game and that is 'Destiny of the Doctors'.
The design and layout of the book would make people think that this was an official book as each page is very well displayed with each author's work laid out in a way so it's easy to see what they have done and you won't have a hard time finding any particular author's work, included in most of these pages is artwork from different artists which are done in various styles as well which is also a welcome sight.
Another highlight of this book is the interviews with some of the people involved in the show such as Anneke Wills (Who played Polly in the series) and Joseph Lidster (Writer of the Big Finish story Master and Torchwood: A Day in the Death), it also has a section on the popular 'Doctor Who' themed band 'Chamelion Circuit' so this book has a bit of everything for the fans. This is a good book to show to your friends and relatives, even more so if you were involved and personally I feel glad to be part of it too.
