Download or read book Doctor Who written by Alan Kistler and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Premiering the day after the JFK assassination, Doctor Who humbly launched one of the entertainment world’s first super-brands. We begin with a look at TV programming of the day and the original pitch documents before delving into the Daleks, which almost didn’t make the cut but inspired many monsters to follow. After three years, First Doctor William Hartnell left, prompting the BBC to recast their hit rather than end it, giving us the first “regeneration” and making TV history. We follow the succession of Doctors—including Third Doctor Jon Pertwee, exiled to Earth and targeted by the Master—and see how the program reflected the feminism of the 1970s while gaining mainstream popularity with Fourth Doctor Tom Baker . . . until declining support from the BBC eventually led to cancelation. Fan outcry saved the series only for it to suffer a repeat cancelation. Yet many continued to enjoy the Whoniverse in syndication, novels, audio dramas, and Doctor Who Magazine. Paul McGann impressed many as the Eighth Doctor in a 1996 TV movie, but it failed to reignite the series. A new age dawned in 2005 with Ninth Doctor Christopher Eccleston and a serious special effects budget before Tenth Doctor David Tennant helped rocket the series to international popularity and a new era of spinoffs. With Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith, the show became a bona fide success here in America. Following the program’s fiftieth anniversary, Whovians will meet the Twelfth Doctor, ushering in yet another era for the unstoppable Time Lord. Featuring discussions of concepts and characters, with insights from producers, writers, and actors from across the years, here is a rich, behind-the-camera investigation into the dazzling multiverse of Doctor Who.

Download or read book The Old Doctor s Rigmarole written by Edward Stuart Gordon and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Old Doctor", John Churchill Gordon, delightfully tells stories of growing up on a plantation in Virginia before the Civil War. His father was a farmer, a member of the Virginia Legislature, and a friend of Thomas Jefferson. Then came the Civil War. When Virginia seceded, the doctor was appointed assistant surgeon for the 38th Virginia Volunteers. After the Confederacy surrendered, his family suffered through the hardships of Reconstruction. They survived, and came through it with a home of their own in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He and his beloved wife, Mary, had eight sons and two daughters. Edward Stuart Gordon wrote this book as if his grandfather, the "Old Doctor", was speaking. The author retells family stories of real-life people, places, and events in a way that preserves the richness, heritage, and hardships of the Civil War era from the perspective of a real southern Virginia family.

Critical and historical examinations of the ideas, philosophies, conceits and morals put forth in the Doctor Who series, which ran for 26 seasons and 159 episodes, are provided here. Also analyzed are thematic concepts, genre antecedents, the overall cinematography and the special effects of the long-running cult favorite.
