Description
This book demonstrates that cultural icon Doctor Who is, always has been, and always should be, a political narrative. As this much-loved science-fiction show, now in its 62nd year, continues to entertain audiences around the world, some people have complained that the writing, themes and presentation is too political. But, claims Lizbeth Myles, Doctor Who has always explored important and controversial political issues, and it is vital that it continues to do so. This insightful, intelligent and entertaining book looks back at some of the most prominent political themes that the series has tackled over the decades - including Nuclear Annihilation, Feminism, Colonialism, Environmentalism, Scientific Responsibility, and Transhumanism - the historical context in which they has been framed, and how the messaging has changed in different eras of the show''s history.
