A quick Amazon search turns up this book, which may be some of what you're looking for? This is a biography of William Hartnell by his granddaughter, which I'm sure has a good deal to say on Hartnell's involvement with the show. I also found autobiographies for Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen, as well as a book about Robert Holmes.

For Modern Who, The Writer's Tale by Russell T. Davies is probably the book you're looking for. I haven't read any of the above personally, but have heard very good things about RTD's book in particular.

As sort of a bonus item, Don't Panic: Douglas Adams & The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is sort of a biography of Douglas Adams's work, from his college sketch show days to his acquaintance with Monty Python, the radio, book, and television successes (and stresses) to Hitchhiker's, and more. There's also a chapter and a couple other mentions of Adams's work on Doctor Who, placing it in the context of his larger career and the ideas he used and recycled from one franchise to another. And, to top it all off, this book is lovingly researched and written by Neil Gaiman. This is the one book out of this list that I actually have read, and if you're any sort of Douglas Adams fan, the book is wonderful.

I don't think the Last Great Time War should ever be shown. It's better left to the imagination. That said, here are some good ways to get your Paul McGann fix:

  • Big Finish monthly audios. Eight's storyline in the monthlies is mostly continuous, with some one-off episodes more recently. Very plot-heavy. If you want a mostly standalone intro episode to see if you like it, check out "The Chimes Of Midnight": one of the most well-loved episodes in all of Doctor Who.
  • Big Finish New Eighth Doctor Adventures. Same continuity as the monthlies, just takes place later. There are four continuous seasons so far and a fifth one coming out in November. Also very plot-heavy, with very few standalone episodes. "Max Warp", "Immortal Beloved" and "Phobos" are great introduction episodes if you just want a taste of what the series is like.
  • Eighth Doctor Adventures. The novels. Explicitly said to take place in a different timeline from Big Finish (although there are a few exceptions and crossovers). I like "The Tomorrow Windows" as an introduction.
  • "The Forgotten". Has a great little bit in it where Eight reluctantly prepares for the Last Great Time War.

    Have fun! :)

Aah, yes. Books about Doctor Who. My time to shine.

I think this is what you want. I read it over Christmas, it was really fascinating and informative. Covers all the things you're interested in.

If you like (or can slog through) critical essays, this book is rather famous, probably the book about Doctor Who in some ways. This one is also pretty good.

Tom Baker's autobiography is incredible, and Richard Marson's biography of John Nathan-Turner is also very interesting - there are a ton of interviews with just about everyone.

There's a fantastic book dedicated to this sort of thing. I never watch Classic Who without it by my side. http://www.amazon.com/The-Doctor-Who-Error-Finder/dp/0786419903

This kind of reminds me in a way of "Emperor Joker" spoiler alert.......

At the end, Batman remembers every single death the Joker put him through. Superman takes on that pain so that Batman can keep on living. I think Bruce kind of remembers the deaths afterwards, but he's able to move forward. I think the Doctor is like that now.

Here's [more] (http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2013/06/09/week-of-cool-superman-comic-book-moments-superman-takes-on-batmans-pain/) if you are interested.

Remember the Doctor Who episode about the Partition of India? Well I found a book about it written by someone named Yasmin Khan, do you think the Doctor Who companion was named after her?

u/wtfbbc · 4 pointsr/gallifrey

This Town Will Never Let Us Go isn't actually that pricey (I have a copy on my shelf), and Alien Bodies is only about half an order of magnitude more expensive. Ebooks are definitely cheaper (possibly infinitely so), but if you want physical copies it's still not unreasonable imo.

Confirmed via Amazon (with publisher's summary) The Drosten's Curse by A.L. Kennedy is a full length Fourth Doctor novel. No mention of his companion.

The Gods of Winter by George Mann and The House of Winter by James Goss are both audio original shorts featuring the Twelfth Doctor and Clara. I assume they are somehow connected given the titles. The listing says they are the first two of four for 2015, but I don't see the others on the BBC's schedule.

You need to read the 4th Doctor story in 11 Doctors, 11 Stories.

Also, I think this would make a great 2-Doctor story, done in flashback/forward/wibbly. Start the episode off like it's a 8th/9th/10th/11th Doctor story, and follow them, but the "flashbacks" would have the current Doctor.

Does anyone know where i can buy Behind the Sofa: Celebrity Memories of Doctor Who?

It's been "Temporarily out of stock" on Amazon for months now.

Have you ever read Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom? It's a historical fiction series in which the protagonist is of the Norse religion, so believes in Valhalla (the hall of Odin, where dead warriors go to feast and fight in glory for eternity). He often complains about how boring the Christian Heaven sounds. Your "harps and eternal happiness" really reminded me of his descriptions.

Good point. Without redshirts dying, how do we know the monster is dangerous?

Poor bastards.

I don't know if the image is from the comic, but one does exist and serves as a prequel to the movie.

I, unfortunately, have not read it.
