Publisher's summary[]
Your complete guide to the award-winning BBC One series
Written and researched by Andrew Pixley
Doctor Who reached staggering new levels of success in 2008, as over ten million avid viewers followed the story of "supertemp" Donna Noble and her amazing journey from the "fat-fighting" Adipose Industries, to the last days of Pompeii, the planet of the Ood, a sinister library in space and an alternative reality in which she never met that amazing time-traveller ... the Doctor! This year, audiences met the Doctor's daughter and Agatha Christie, saw the Earth invaded by Sontarans, and witnessed the Doctor reunited with his friends to stop Davros and the Daleks from destroying reality itself!
Now, Doctor Who Magazine takes you behind the scenes of the incredible series, with an in-depth episode-by-episode guide, including original storylines, deleted scenes, and thousands of facts about the day-to-day life of making Doctor Who — all illustrated with gorgeous, never-before-seen photographs.

Plus an exclusive introduction written by Doctor Who's executive producer and head writer Russell T Davies.
