Andy Frankham-Allen will be signing his new book in store from 1:00pm.

The award-winning publisher, Candy Jar Books is launching a brand new Doctor Who book to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the show. Companions: Fifty Years of Doctor Who Assistants is an unofficial and candid guide of the Time Lord’s adventures in space and time.

Written by a true fan, Companions: Fifty Years of Doctor Who Assistants is a comprehensive and well-informed account of the past fifty years of the British institution — Doctor Who.

Gary Russell, former Doctor Who Magazine editor and BBC script editor has provided the book’s foreword. Gary said: “Of course there have been books about companions before – but few of them go into this amount of detail, display this amount of in-depth knowledge and above all, this amount of love. As a celebration of everything that makes the Doctor’s (and therefore our) best friends unique and special, this book is essential.”

Since first appearing on our screens back in 1963, Doctor Who has become a global phenomenon spanning fifty years with eleven incarnations of the eccentric Time Lord. The world’s longest-running sci-fi series follows the Doctor as he travels through time and space in his iconic blue police box, the TARDIS.

This book provides readers with an in-depth account of each Doctor’s assistants and the impact they had.
