The Television Companion: The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Doctor Who

by David J Howe and Stephen James Walker

Everything you ever wanted to know about the cult BBC Television series Doctor Who (1963-1996).

On its first publication in 2002, The Television Companion was hailed as possibly the best guide ever to the BBC's cult science fiction show Doctor Who. Now Telos re-issues their own edition of the book in a revised and updated version spanning two volumes, which remains the definitive guide to the television worlds and adventures of the Doctor and his companions.

Every story from 1963 to 1996 is covered in depth in all aspects of production, including plot details, cast and crew lists, episode endings, transmission dates, memorable quotes and popular myths. In addition there is a comprehensive analysis of every adventure, utilising reviews both contemporary and retrospective from a wide variety of sources.

This is the essential companion for every trip you will ever take into the TV universe of classic Doctor Who.

'The bible ...' SFX Magazine

'Another superior effort from what I consider to be the finest Doctor Who historians around. It is quite a hefty and involved read, and contains (almost) everything you'd want to know about the best SF Tv series ever.' Reviewer on Amazon.co.uk.

'If you're looking for a Doctor Who episode guide, then you can stop looking as this is by far the best book you can buy about the television series.' Sean Brady on Amazon.co.uk

'What is most memorable about The Television Companion is the fact that every story is given a balanced analysis - it's not decreed that 'Timelash' is bad, for example, rather the authors draw upon a wide variety of opposing reviews spanning the years to present a genuinely interesting study of every story - which is altogether far more interesting than cut-and-dried opinions. The Television Companion is indispensable to all fans of the television series, especially because of the detail in which the Hartnell and Troughton stories are studied. The emphasis is no more in-depth than any other era of the show, but seeing as many of their stories no longer exist, it's highly rewarding and an admirable asset to a potentially video-biased read.' Brad Schmidt in TSV (#56, October 1998)

Now On The Big Screen: The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Doctor Who at the Cinema

by Charles Norton

In 1965, two American filmmakers took the BBC’s Doctor Who television series to the cinema. Starring Peter Cushing, Dr Who and the Daleks and Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150AD brought a colourful world of Dalek invaders and a time-travelling Police Box to the big screen for the very first time.

In the decades since, many other filmmakers have tried and failed to replicate the success of those two movies. Barely a year has gone by without someone, somewhere, trying to make a new motion picture based around Doctor Who.

Through new interviews with those involved and never before published paperwork from the British Board of Film Censors, the story of Doctor Who’s difficult relationship with the cinema can now be told.

This is the complete story of the few Doctor Who films that were made and the many more that were not. It is an exciting adventure of Scarecrows, Yeti and the deadly game of Cricket. It is also a cautionary tale of a hopeless place called ‘development hell’ and the souls of the many lost motion-pictures that have ended up there.

Wiped! Doctor Who's Missing Episodes: Second Edition

by Richard Molesworth

In the 1960s, the BBC screened 253 episodes of its cult science fiction show Doctor Who, starring William Hartnell and then Patrick Troughton as the time travelling Doctor. Yet by 1975, the Corporation had wiped the master tapes of every single one of these episodes. Of the 124 Doctor Who episodes starring Jon Pertwee shown between 1970 and 1974, the BBC destroyed over half of the original transmission tapes within two years of their original broadcast.

In the years that followed, the BBC, along with dedicated fans of the series, began the arduous task of trying to track down copies of as many missing Doctor Who episodes as possible. The search covered BBC sales vaults, foreign television stations, overseas archives, and numerous networks of private film collectors, until the tally of missing programmes was reduced to just 106 episodes.

For the first time, this book looks in detail at how the episodes came to be missing in the first place, and examines how material subsequently came to be returned to the BBC. Along the way, those people involved in the recovery of lost slices of Doctor Who's past tell their stories in candid detail, many for the very first time. This second edition updates the story with details of the recent episode discoveries from 'Galaxy 4' and 'The Underwater Menace' as well as general updates, corrections and revisions throughout.

No more rumours, no more misinformation, no more fan gossip. The truth about Doctor Who's missing episodes can now be told in full!

'A labour of love that’s clearly involved an immense amount of painstaking research' SFX

'This is a cracker of a book that lays to rest many myths (and confirms many more).' Total SciFi Online

'Exhaustively researched and fascinating' SciFi Online

'If you want to know the full story behind the lost ‘Doctor Who’ stories and how they were got back then this is the authoritative book to own and should be on your reading list. A brilliant study.' SF Crowsnest

Whostrology: A Time Traveller's Almanac

by Michael M Gilroy-Sinclair

Illustrated by Deborah Taylor

Whostrology: an astrological system based upon the travels of a certain Time Lord. The mythic qualities of his tales of adventure form the basis for this book of daily readings that can help you shape your life and live in a truly Whovian way.

It has been said that the Doctor was born under the sign of the crossed computers. This could mean one of two things. It could be nothing more than a flippant remark to a passing local; or it could be a reference to the stars as seen from the Doctor’s home world. As any visible constellations are an arbitrary set of images fully dependant on the observer’s location in time and space as well as their cultural heritage, it can also be argued that some people have nothing better to do than make things up.

Whostrology is a book of daily readings, zodiac signs and explanations, and other Who-based astrological elements, designed to allow every Who fan to lead a life of peace and ordered calm.

The Barry Newbery Signature Collection

by Barry Newbery

Designed by Paul Smith

Introduction by Stephen James Walker

For the 50th anniversary of DOCTOR WHO, Telos Publishing is pleased to announce The Barry Newbery Signature Collection, a beautifully designed and presented, lavish, full colour book featuring many of Barry's own photographs of his sets and designs. The book is annotated with Barry's own descriptions and memories of the work he undertook, and includes some set designs and sketches as well as many never-before-seen photographs in black and white and full colour, all cleaned up and colour corrected by the book's designer, Paul Smith (who created the fan project The Wonderful Book of Doctor Who 1965 last year).

'Barry Newbery is one of the true unsung heroes of Doctor Who,' explains Telos' David J Howe. 'Without him, the stories he worked on would not be so rich and memorable, and it was his role as Designer on the original sixties stories which helped to establish the show as a visual feast. Back then, the designer did everything from the sets to the props to the monsters, and Barry's visual flair brought us the lavishness of 'Marco Polo', 'The Aztecs' and 'The Crusades' as well as the science fiction stylings of 'The Dominators' and 'The Invisible Enemy', and the gothic splendour of 'The Brain of Morbius' and 'Masque of Mandragora'. It's been an enormous pleasure to have worked with Barry and Paul to bring this book to fruition. We hope it's a fitting tribute to both the show and to one of it's most significant contributors.'

Barry Newbery was the first set designer to work on the transmitted series of Doctor Who and is also one of the longest serving, his work featuring in stories spanning the eras of five Doctors across 20 years. He has designed adventures set around the world: from the Wild West, via Europe and the Middle East, to Dynastic China; and across the ages: from Man’s first fumblings with fire to the demise of the Earth billions of years in the future.

This book presents an extensive selection from Barry’s personal collection of photographs of his designs for Doctor Who ~ many published for the very first time ~ with insight into his ideas, influences and accomplishments in his own words. See Ancient Egypt, Renaissance Italy, volcanic Tigus, distant Karn and more exotic locations come to life through Barry’s meticulous and inventive designs.

Telos will be publishing this gorgeous, 230x160mm, landscape 96 page book in two editions. There will be a paperback edition retailing at £24.99, and a deluxe, limited edition hardback at £39.99, which will come complete with a limitation signature sticker personally signed by Barry Newbery.
