SURPRISINGLY, this is the first book completely devoted to one of the three factors that make Dr Who the most famous show in the world - the doctor, the villains and the poor tortured souls who are cast as second string to the Timelord.
It is a light-hearted look behind the scenes and around the storylines of the actors, actresses, screamers, whingers, psychotics and mathematical geniuses who have accompanied the doctor through four dimensions and over 33 years.
Lavish illustrations, with hundreds of black and white and colour photos, begin opposite page one with a scantily-clad Peri (actress Nicola Bryant) in full A4 colour, neatly providing one answer to the question heading Chapter 1 - Why Does the Doctor Need a Companion Anyway? (answer: to attract male viewers).
