Exterminate/Regenerate by John Higgs
The first biography of the infamous Time Lord, written by one of the most well respected cultural critics at work in the UK today
A TARDIS of a bookOn the outside it's about a TV show, but open it up and you're plunged into the space-time continuum. John Higgs is your man for seeing eternity in a grain of sand -- FRANK COTTRELL-BOYCE
Absolutely wonderful. The book I've been waiting to read since I was ten years old. Full of surprising and piercing insights, and fascinating meditations on the nature of mystery. The first thing I've come across that absolutely nails the extraordinary nature of the cultural phenomenon that is Doctor Who. Like its subject, it's about so much more than it appears to be -- JEREMY DYSON
With his usual mix of cultural savvy and sharp philosophical insight, John Higgs frees Doctor Who from the rubber tendrils of fandom to reveal an unkillable British myth which millions of us helped create together -- JOEL MORRIS
Full of interesting tidbits and perfect for the Doctor Who fan in your life -- JENNY COLGAN
Epic, pacey and blisteringly insightful. Higgs is a masterful guide to one of the weirdest elements in British pop culture. This is an adventure in time and space which manages to be thrilling, laugh-out-loud funny and oddly melancholic, often on a single page. He gives us the full authoritative story of Doctor Who. And along the way, we learn a great deal about modern Britain, our weird relationship with change, and the haunted corridors of our own childhood -- IAN DUNT
Wonderful! You do not need to be a Whovian to delight at John Higgs's journey through Doctor Who, but you may well be one by the end of the book -- ROBIN INCE
An absorbing, engaging and gossipy history of Doctor Who, full of new insight and detail - both comprehensive and breezy, and so bigger on the inside. A joyous celebration of a British institution -- SIMON GUERRIER, author of DAVID WHITAKER IN AN EXCITING ADVENTURE WITH TELEVISION
