Constituting the largest reference work on Doctor Who ever written, the
six-volume About Time strives to become the ultimate reference guide to
the world's longest-running science fiction program. Written by Lawrence
Miles (Faction Paradox) and long-time sci-fi commentator Tat Wood, About
Time focuses on the continuity of Doctor Who (its characters, alien
races and the like), but also examines the show as a work of social
commentary. In particular, Miles and Wood dissect the politics and
social issues that shaped the show during its unprecedented 26-year run
(from 1963 to 1989), detailing how the issues of the day influenced this
series. As part of this grand opus, About Time 2 examines Doctor Who
Seasons 4 to 6 (1966 to 1969) -- a massive paradigm shift for the show,
as Patrick Troughton takes over the lead role. Among other things, About
Time 2 answers such vitally important Who questions as What's the
Timeline of the Cybermen?, Whatever Happened to the USA? and Did
Sergeant Pepper Know the Doctor?
