Timeframe The Illustrated History Doctor Who/30th Anniversary David J Howe 9781852274276 Books

David J. Howe of the famous Howe-Stammers-Walker team painstakingly compiled this work to correspond to Doctor Who's 30th anniversary.
Basically, each section is divided by season and consists of a very brief summary of the stories within that season. Also included in each section are newsclippings, photo stills from the Who stories, publicity or photo stills of actors, actors in costume, and full page illustrations for the Who novelizations. Allstair Pearson has the lion's share of illustration, and that's because his gouache-style paintings rule. The ones for Earthshock, Remembrance Of The Daleks, Silver Nemesis, and the two Troughton Dalek stories are my favorites. Compare his drawings to those of Chris Achilleos. Oh, and there are funny cartoons and promotional items such as the Sky-Ray popsicles seen in the More Than 30 Years documentary.
But remember, when journeying through the thirty years spanning the show's creation to the first few New Adventures, that we are actually travelling through history, time itself. What is a chronology, if not a time machine in writing? To illustrate, there's a Radio Times programme listing for An Unearthly Child, Who's first story, Jon Pertwee on the cover of the Radio Times, a 1978 news clipping introducing Mary Tamm as Romana, a 1980 press cutting of Tom Baker announcing his resignation as Dr. Who, the March 1987 obituary of Patrick Troughton, and a 6 October 1989 press cutting that hinted (accurately) at the show's departure.
Call this a book version of More Than 30 Years In The TARDIS, Timeframe is essential reading for Who fans.

Timeframe The Illustrated History Doctor Who/30th Anniversary David J Howe 9781852274276 Books Reviews

"Timeframe" excels in that it's packed with hundreds of photos, book covers, and other items of interest (including a picture of the Doctor Who pinball machine!). However, there's really nothing else new in the book, just the same old rehashing of info on the stories that even the casual Who fan should know.
Doctor Who is a science-fiction, cultural phenomenon along with Star Trek. This book shows a fans love for the show and shares it with the rest of us.

Most fan books now (basically books that don't really educate someone not familiar with the show, but have all sorts of trivia of interest for fans) contain episode guides as well as trivia. Each season has a synopsis of the exploits of the doctor. Usually included are the names of the alien/villian involved, and a mention of what happened to the companion(s) of the Doctor. The book doesn't discuss number of episodes of how the episodes broke down, which is disappointing.

There are pictures of scenes from the show, but we don't normally see what episode it's from, and sometimes the caption with the pictures is actually the text from a Doctor Who novelization. In keeping with the novelization scheme, included are many drawings which were jacket art for the novels.

The book doesn't give much background, but there are some newsclippings. This was written before the Ninth Doctor (Eccleston) and Tenth Doctor (Tennant).

If you are a Doctor Who fan, then this book would be of interest.
