      I hope it will cover all the episodes of classic to new in chronological order and have all the facts about all the monsters and companions and for the companions show information about what story’s there in,how they came and how they left! Also for the monsters show what story’s they were in and if they changed there designs show the design features and facts and what powers they have and show what there story’s are in chronological order! And also I want them to show the lost stories from 6th and 7th doctor! What do u want in this book?

      Hopefully it’s massive! If it’s going to show 50 years of doctor who history and characters and villains then it’s going to be huge! Hopefully 600 pages lol! What features are they showing in this book? If anyone knows or has any ideas on what they think is in it please fill free to tell me. And hopefully they have every single episode from classic to new series! And show all the tardis interiors including the 2nd tardis interior,library,clothes room,study,kitchen,hart of the tardis and all the companions rooms! And much much more!

    Do u guys think it will be like the ultimate monster guide?tell what u guys think.hopefully they will show all the episodes on it in chronological order from the unearthly child to the 2013 Christmas special! Also I hope it will be showing all the monsters from classic to new series and put tones of Infomation and show lots of pictures and Infomation about the story’s that the creature stared in and facts about it! Also I want them to do the same with the companions! If its going to be a encyclopedia of the 50 years of doctor who!

      Also they need to put all the tardis interiors inside and show all the rooms in it that they showed on tv like the pool and all the companions rooms and all the tardis console rooms designs including the 2nd controll room! I would also love to see if they put in the lost stories of the 6th doctors 23rd season and the seventh doctors 27th season! Also if they could talk about the time war and how the 8th doctor regenerated! And for each episode they should put a rating! So what’s you’r thoughts on these decisions and what do u want in the book?

      How many pages do u think this books going to be? I think abou 600/700 pages and it’s going to be a big book as well! So if it’s going to fit 50 years of doctor who’s history then about 600/700 pages long! What’s your thoughts guys?

      I imagine it’ll cost a fair bit of money. Seeing as it’s got everything jam-packed into it. Although, we’ll have to wait for the price, I guess.

    i like the look of this, they could have put another classic monster on the cover though, the dalek looks very strange in front of the new series monsters!

      I think it looks quite good considering its age, it hardly looks dated at all which goes to show how they could have used them more in Asylum if they had wanted to.

      Donna was alright, until Russel T Davies turned the character into a huge deus ex machina. Besides, Rose, Adric, and Mel were definately worse!

    Will this be like the doctor who ultimate encyclopedia? Will it have all the classic and new monsters and for the cyberman will they show like all the story’s give a little Infomation and about the monster and the design? And for the doctors will they show all the tardis interiors and all the doctor who episodes from classic and new and also all the companions from classic to new? Hopefully this will be worth it I hope so!

      erm nearly all the Classic monsters returning to the show have had a revamp, Daleks have changed, Sontarans have, and the main ones with the main change were the Silurians.
