DOCTOR WHO
THE HANDBOOK
DOCTOR WHO - Doctor by Doctor


DOCTOR WHO is the worlds longest-running science fiction television series.  Each handbook will provide both a broad overview and a detailed analysis of one phase of the programme's history.

William Hartnell was already a well-known and experienced film and television actor when, in 1963, he took on a new role: a mysterious and crotchety time traveller in a new BBC drama series for children.  Nothing else about the programme was as tried and tested; the fictional premise was offbeat, the producer was a young woman at the start of her television career, and the future direction of the series was unknown.

DOCTOR WHO went on to thrill millions of children and adults around the world for three decades.  But the foundations of success were laid in the first three years, when the TARDIS and the Daleks became as known and loved as the Beatles.

This is the third in the handbook series by David J Howe, Mark Stammers and Stephen James Walker, the team that also produced THE SIXTIES and THE SEVENTIES.  Drawing on the latest research they have included in this book the definitive account of the genesis of DOCTOR WHO, as well as a profile of William Hartnell, critical reviews of all the TV stories, a detailed analysis of the making of a typical First Doctor story and a complete review of the programme's development.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
