For that price, I’d expect a companion to *all* the stories from “An Unearthly Child” onwards.

May 14th, 2013 - 2:53pmRevelation of the Daleks for Colin. Interesting story, wonderfully directed and somewhat macabre with the glass dalek!

May 13th, 2013 - 6:59pmI’m not really sure why a who fan would need this, the way I properly started was as follows:
genesis of the daleks
the sea devils
the dalek invasion of earth
tomb of the cybermen
earthshock
twin dilemma
ghost light
tv movie
and then chronologically from nine on.
if you are starting who, find the doctor you like first, buy a story from each doctor, narrow it down to 4-5 and invest in them till you find one you like, I’d steer clear of later classics as they may be off putting. just my opinions, what are your thoughts on classic episodes?
Dalek Smith
May 13th, 2013 - 7:42pmI love the classic series as I think they had more time to do thinks and the daleks and the cybermen were scary
harraseda
May 13th, 2013 - 5:02pmHope Blink, Caves of Androzani, Genesis of the Daleks, Rememberance of the Daleks, The Doctor’s Wife, The Empty Chid/The Doctor Dances and Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways are in there.

May 13th, 2013 - 4:56pmI don’t see the point in this. If your new to ‘Who’, then I think you should buy it, then you would know which ‘Who’episodes are considered to be the best, however if you’ve seen all episodes in existence (like me :D) then there’s no need for the book, cus you would have your own personal favourites.

Dalek The Supreme
May 13th, 2013 - 1:14pmI wonder what 50 stories there are? I pray that The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, Tomb of the Cybermen, and Asylum of the Daleks are among them, as they’re my top three.
