In Space Helmet for a Cow 2, Paul Kirkley (Doctor Who Magazine,
Radio Times, SFX) continues his witty and irreverent history of
Doctor Who, from the wilderness years of the 1990s - when the 30th
anniversary special was so bad, it didn't even go straight to video - to
its triumphant 50th birthday celebrations, when every single person in
the world sat down to watch Doctor Who together (except Christopher
Eccleston, who was busy).
It's the book that answers such burning questions as: Did Benny and
Björn from Abba really plan a Torchwood musical called Weevil Rock
You? Which Doctors shared a bed? Did Blue Peter and Sad Tony
eventually find love? How did David Tennant become his own
father-in-law? And was there really a sequel to Carnival of Monsters
at Wembley Arena, or did we dream it?
