Doctor Who The Essential Guide #12 Time Travel

Available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.com

Panini’s lavish bookazines continue with a 116-page issue devoted to the Doctor’s journeys through time, and the greatest plots hatched by his time-travelling adversaries.

Doctor Who was conceived as a format that would go backwards, forwards and sideways in time. Ever since those early black-and- whites days, the series has stayed true to that concept with innovative stories exploring every aspect of the fourth dimension.

The Essential Doctor Who: Time Travel talks to the actors, writers and directors who helped to create these memorable episodes.

Elsewhere in this issue there are guides to the greatest time-travel stories – including the classics Blink and City of Death – along with details of unmade scripts, previously unseen images and much more.

    I’m sure they’ll change this cover to feature Capaldi but I hope not, it looks really cool as it is!

      Smith’s overarching storyline involves a lot of time travel – the Silence and River Song stuff – which could be why he’s on the cover.

    Why couldn’t this be a Special Edition instead? Much stronger link to the main show than books.

      Sean, mainly because the Special Editions (currently, and for the past few years) have, as their organising principle, activities around the making of, and wider culture that grows up around, the TV show (art, music, special effects, toys and games, next up: books).

      Whereas they’ve clearly made a conscious editorial decision to focus the Bookazines on appraising the in-universe storytelling *within* the TV show and also within some supporting media (novels, comics, audio etc). And so we have things like Cybermen; The Master; Invasions of Earth, Robots, Adventures in Space etc.

      Do you see what I mean? To shove the ‘books’ topic into the Bookazine range wouldn’t work, nor putting this upcoming in-depth look at the use of time-travel as a concept in the TV narrative work so well in the current organising principle of the specials. Each would be the wrong fit for the ‘other’ range.

      In other words,
