Doctor Who: The Doctor's Lives and Times

 Doctor Who: The Doctor's Lives and Times by James Goss and Steve Tribe

Pages: 256

Rated: 5 out of 5 stars

Presented as a collection of documents on the life and activities of the Time Lord, "The Doctor." The story of The Doctor is told using letters, journals, trial records, secret government files, news files and interviews with The Doctor's friends and enemies. 

In the midst of the documentation of the life of The Doctor, are behind the scenes stories, comments, photos, of the BBC show Doctor Who starting with the first season in black and white, through the current revival of the show now on BBC America. 

I have never seen any of the older episodes of Dr. Who so I learned a lot about the show's history and some of The Doctor's history that fills in some details about his life. These details aren't necessary to enjoy the more recent episodes but they do add some depth to the character and his relationships especially to the British government and alien species all over the universe, including his own people, the Time Lords of Gallifrey.
