<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Constituting the largest reference work on 'Doctor Who' ever written, the six-volume 'About Time' strives to become the ultimate reference guide to the world's longest-running science fiction program. Written by long-time sci-fi commentator Tat Wood, 'About Time' focuses on the continuity of 'Doctor Who' (its characters, alien races and the like), but also examines the show as a work of social commentary. In particular, Wood dissects the politics and social issues that shaped the show during its unprecedented 26-year run (from 1963 to 1989), detailing how the issues of the day influenced this series. As part of this grand opus, About Time 6 examines 'Doctor Who' Seasons 22 to 26 (1985 to 1989) - the end of the show's classic run, starring Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy - as well as the 1996 TV Movie starring Paul McGann. Among other things, About Time 6 answers such vitally important 'Who' questions as 'Is Continuity a Pointless Waste of Time?', 'What are the Oddest Romances in the Programme's History?' and 'Does Paul McGann Count?'<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Constituting the largest reference work on Doctor Who ever written, the six-volume About Time strives to become the ultimate reference guide to the world's longest-running science fiction program.
