In About Time, the whole of Doctor Who is examined through the lens of the real-world social and political changes, as well as ongoing developments in television production, that influenced the series in ways big and small over the course of a generation. Armed with these guidebooks, readers will be able to cast their minds back to 1975, 1982, 2005, and other years to best appreciate the series’ content and character.

To that end, the Second Edition of About Time 2 massively, massively (you think we jest – verily, we do not) expands upon the commentary and essays offered on Doctor Who Seasons 4 to 6: the end of William Hartnell’s tenure and the whole of the Patrick Troughton Era of Doctor Who.

Here’s the rundown of essays in this volume:

“Why Shouldn’t You Get Into a White MKII Jaguar?”

“What’s the Chronology of the Cybermen?”

“What Do Daleks Eat?”

“Why is a MacCrimmon Fighting for the Jacobites?”

“How Many Atlantises Were There?”

“Why Were Those Titles So Extraordinary?”

“How Do You Trap a Directionless Time Traveller?”

“Why is that Portrait Hanging in Maxtible’s Parlour?”

“Did Sgt Pepper Know the Doctor?”

“How Buddhist is This?”

“Why Did the Radio Times Matter?”

“What’s the Timeline of the 21st Century?”

“When Did the Doctor Get a Second Heart?”

“Was This Trip Really Necessary?”
