nwhyte's review against another edition
http://nhw.livejournal.com/890843.html[return][return]This is the first edition, which states on the first page, "Doctor Who has now been running over eight years, which makes it one of the most successful shows on British television." It is very much aimed at a younger audience; quite a long chapter, for instance, on how a television programme is actually made, what the director does, etc.[return][return]One section which was completely changed in the second edition was the re-telling of the Doctor's televised adventures as a continuous narrative, presented as memoranda from the files of the Time Lords and of UNIT. (The second edition simply presented each story separately in a list, as all serious Doctor Who reference books have done since.) This section is preceded by the indictment and initial defence for the Doctor at the end of The War Games, revealing also the Doctor's "real name".[return][return]Anyway, certainly superseded in usefulness by pretty much every work of reference on Doctor Who published since, but very nice to have.

Good book.
Interesting reading about the state of Who at the transition to the 4th Doctor.
