Fantastic!: A Celebration of Fans Discovering Doctor Who Hardcover

Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk

The Doctor Who TV series has been popular for over 60 years. The fans of the series have created exciting and welcoming communities whose love of the series connects them together due to their shared interest in the show. Look behind the TARDIS doors at the thoughts and experiences of these would-be companions of the Doctor.

This book interviews over 100 Doctor Who fans with interesting and diverse backgrounds. They include curators of Doctor Who museums, Guinness World Records holders, convention organizers, role-playing game storytellers, documentary filmmakers, families brought together by the show, and even fans that watched the first episode on broadcast in 1963, and others that just recently discovered the series.

We ask the fans common questions they often privately ask one another but that we have not seen documented in a book before. Discover the answers of how they first found the show, how they grew to be fans, and their favorite moments within Doctor Who fandom. They invite you into their world.

This book is a love letter, not just to the Doctor Who TV series, but to the fans of the show itself.

“This is a book by viewers and fans. It begins to answer the impossible question: where do I start in this epic universe? And how have others done it?” – Director Rachel Talalay from the Foreword

The book also contains additional information such as some statistics about the answers that the fans gave, ways that a person can celebrate their Doctor Who fandom, and a listing of the Doctor Who stories that the fans are talking about as a reference.
