Then and Now

Doctor Who is one of the most reviewed and talked about shows that the BBC has ever broadcast. It has enjoyed over fifty years of popularity, and continues to thrill children and adults all over the world. Now noted Doctor Who historian and writer David J Howe presents his own views and thoughts on the 'second incarnation' of the series, which started in March 2005 with Christopher Eccleston playing the Doctor, and then continued until January 2010 with David Tennant at the helm.



Every episode, including some of the special mini-episodes, are analysed and reviewed, and the path of the Doctor's adventures through the series is charted. From the highlights to the low points, David J Howe considers the show against its broad history both as a viewer at the time, and also with the benefit of hindsight, with a current re-watch of the episodes.



A marvellous romp through four years of time travel ... come along and enjoy the ride!



'It's a rollercoaster read that will put you back in the days of yesteryear when Doctor Who used to go out on those early spring evenings. It's a cracking read and one that leaves you wanting to read Howe's opinions on the Smith and Capaldi years next.' Mez Burdett



'Howe's talents is that he can imbue each review with personality that demonstrates his love of Doctor Who and also highlights his fun side. His writing is witty and this is what helps make the book stand out - Howe's real passion for Who added into the mix makes for a fascinating and funny book which reflects on the most recent run of Doctor Who in an engaging and new way. This is truly a delight of a book, I would strongly recommend buying it.' The Consulting Detective
