Publisher's Synopsis
So, you're a Doctor Who fan looking for a new book to read. You might be an expert on Verity Lambert and Sydney Newman, Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks, Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner... but have you ever heard of Matthew Kopelke and Witold Tietze? Why not read a Doctor Who story that you've never heard before... the story of its fans! When the series stopped production after 1989 its many followers were devastated. Spinning out of the Brisbane Doctor Who Fan Club in Australia, one group of fans decided to do something about it, making their own amateur productions. They would go on to build a strong fan base and attract the talents of professional Doctor Who writers and designers. This book chronicles their story and the story of the show itself, from the end of the classic era, through the Wilderness Years and on to the successful 2005 re-emergence. You might know everything there is to know about Doctor Who, but this book puts that into a new perspective - that of the Whovian.
