Available to order from www.tenacrefilms.com
Ten Acre Films is releasing Adventures in Type and Space in December, a charity bookazine exploring the title sequences of classic Doctor Who.

Illustrated throughout with rare and unseen imagery, Adventures in Type and Space is a celebration of the artistry and ingenuity that went into creating Doctor Who’s extraordinary title sequences, told by the people who made them, and includes a foreword by Mark Gatiss.
Proceeds will benefit Unicef, Bernard Lodge’s chosen charity.

February 6th, 2024 - 12:01amCan’t believe how this fantastic little book slipped under most people’s radar: it’s absolutelY terrific and really delivers! – sumptuous photos throughout and in-depth interviews with all the major players… showing ‘Sold out’ at the last check, but grab a copy from anyone if you can.

February 18th, 2024 - 10:57pmI agree it is a fantastic book. Clearly lots of love has gone into its production. Tons more detail than I’ve ever seen/read/known before about the classic series title sequences. Mine arrived couple of weeks ago.

December 9th, 2023 - 8:51amJust been informed bY the manufacturers this is delaYed until January 9th, increased page count means the price is rising to £14.99, but those who pre-ordered still get it for the original £12.99. Can’t wait for this to come out, I just hope the stills are of a good size/finish with both the Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker versions included and all keY parts of each sequence represented – a book like this is long overdue; if it’s a success perhaps they’ll do a second volume of all the New Who title sequences – how good would that be!

October 9th, 2023 - 6:34pmThis looks fantastic! The titles have always been such a unique part of the series (at any rate up to the generic star-field at any rate!) and those glorious howlaround and slit-scan titles are iconic in the true sense of the word!
