TARDIS Eruditorum - An Unofficial Critical History of Doctor Who Volume 5: Tom Baker and the Williams Years by Elizabeth Sandifer

5.0

Fascinating analysis of the extreme highs and lows of the Graham William-produced era of Doctor Who (which gave us terrific stories like "City of death" and "The Horror of Fang Rock", but also monumental piles of garbage like "Underworld" and "The Power of Kroll"), followed by the first season of John Nathan-Turner's record-trashing run. Sandifer's essay on "Logopolis", written in Choose-Your-Own-Adventure format, is terrific, as is his outsider's view of the rise of Margaret Thatcher during this period of the show.

Brilliant read as always.
