This unique tour of space and time celebrates the adventures of the BBC's Time Lord from the past 50 years. Who are the members of the Doctor's family? What are the 20 best ways to define a Dalek? What are the galactic coordinates for Gallifrey? If you don't know the answers then you certainly will after reading the amazing facts, figures and stories bursting from 'Doctor Who: Who-ology'. Get to know the ins and outs of the TARDIS, rediscover worlds like Trenzalore, and complete the list of terrific and terrifying monsters the Doctor has fended off over the past half-century. This official and thoroughly entertaining miscellany features drawings, charts and graphs throughout too.
If you're a fan of 'Doctor Who', whether it's the classic series or the new rebooted series, I would recommend picking up this book, it covers it all and then some! Reading more like a digest of everything Whovian from the last 50 years, this hardcover book has it all.
From the very first episode, and all the way up until the 2012 Christmas special, the 384 pages are bursting with the facts and figures from the entire series. It's all presented very well in a hardback volume, with a cover illustrated by Lee Binding and accompanied by black and white interior illustrations by Ben Morris. 'Who-ology' details the timelines, actor biographies, character summaries, episode listings, fact compilations and quotations. There's a lot of detail for the casual fan to take in, yet not as much that a hard-core fan might expect, but it's still fun to flick through the pages and get lost in the mythology of the Doctor.
For the price, you can pick this up for less than a tenner, this is a book that fans of Doctor Who will enjoy. A perfect celebration of the longest running science fiction TV series.
