Description
Get to know the eccentric alien known as the Doctor in this "
out-of-this-world read for both Classic and New Who fans" (
Library Journal).
From his beginnings as a crotchety, anti-heroic scientist in 1963 to his current place in pop culture as the mad and dangerous monster-fighting savior of the universe, the character of Doctor Who has metamorphosed in his many years on television. And yet the questions about him remain the same: Who is he? Why does he act the way he does? What motivates him to fight evil across space and time?
The Doctors Are In is a guide to television's most beloved time traveler from the authors of Who Is the Doctor and Who's 50. This is a guide to the Doctor himself-who he is in his myriad forms, how he came to be, how he has changed (within the program itself and behind the scenes)... and why he's a hero to millions.
