Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse was an encyclopedic celebration of 60 years of the world's longest-running sci-fi television series, Doctor Who.

Publisher's summary[]

Six decades may only be a handful of heartbeats to a Time Lord, but for Doctor Who it's the adventure of several lifetimes. Evolving over 60 years, the world's longest-running sci-fi TV show has gifted us a universe of menacing monsters and unforgettable heroes. You might even call it a 'Whotopia'.

Now you can roam free through the Doctor's dimension as never before in this special commemorative book for Doctor Who's diamond anniversary. Join all the Doctors as each tells their own story. Learn about their legions of legendary allies - and hear from the monsters' own mouths about what makes them tick. Find danger on alien worlds and threats here on Earth in all eras. And explore the gadgets, robots, spaceships, computers and mind-blowing creations that crowd the never-ending corridors of Whotopia.

Crammed with exciting new images and in full colour throughout, Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse is the essential celebration of 60 years of Doctor Who.

# Concept Summary
Rest of the World
TBA Vatican City The Vatican City is notable for various things, such as being the residence of the Pope, the central government of the Catholic Church, and being the home to an underground library known as the Hereticum. One text in this library is The Veritas, a text with a truth so powerful any who read it commit suicide. However, this only exists in a simulation, and thus not in the real world, or, perhaps it does...

# Concept Summary
TBA Sonic blaster
TBA Sonic screwdriver
and other
sonic devices
The Doctor originally built their sonic screwdriver to emit sound waves to unscrew screws without physically touching, its sole purpose. However, the Doctor found more uses for the device, and added more features over time, leading them to develop other sonic devices such as a sonic cane, sonic lance, sonic lipstick, sonic trowel and sonic umbrella.

Notes[]

  • Artist "The Lone Dalek" did the TARDIS renders in this book.[1][2][3]
  • This book only focused on information exclusively from the television series, ignoring anything from non-television spin-offs.
    • In particular, it appears at first glance to identify incarnations of the Master with ordinal names at odds with known incarnations; for example, Roger Delgado's Master is identified as the "First Master", despite virtually every other source featuring this incarnation showing him to be nearing, or the final incarnation, of his first regeneration cycle. Simon Guerrier clarified that these names weren't diegetic but referred merely to the order in which every television Master first appeared.[4]
  • As this book was released prior to their full television debuts, it gave hints of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors personalities; the Fourteenth is shown to look back towards the Tenth Doctor, questioning why he has his body once more, while the Fifteenth Doctor is shown to have an optimistic and adventurous outlook towards the future.
  • A promotional bookmark was included in SFX 373 with Whotopia artwork.
