    About this ebook

    About Time vol. 7 continues an examination of the real-world social-political context in which each Doctor Who story was made, this time focusing on Series 1 and 2 of the revamped series (2005 to 2006) starring Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant. Essays in this volume include: Why Now? Why Wales?; RT Phone Home?; Is the New Series More Xenophobic?; Why is Trinity Wells on Jackie's Telly?; He Remembers This How?; What's Happened to the Daleks?; Why Doesn't Anyone Read Any More?; Reapers - Err, What?; What's So Great About the 51st Century?; Gay Agenda? What Gay Agenda?; Does Being Made in Wales Matter?; Did He Fall or Was He Pushed?; Bad Wolf - What, How and Why?: What's a 'Story' Now?; How Long is Harriet in No. 10?; Has All the Puff 'Totally' Changed Things?; Stunt Casting: What Are the Dos and the Dont's?; The Great Powell Estate Debate; Is Arthur the Horse a Companion?; Are Credited Authors Just Hired Hands?; How Many Cyber-Races Are There?; and more.

      Umm... wow. I get the distinct impression that the author *really* hates:1) The new series.2) Anything having to do with Wales.Simply because it's WHO-related, parts of the book were modestly interesting, although it rambles around like nobody's business and often leaves you with the feeling of, "Hunh? What did he just say?" I mean, really: five-plus pages outlining seven theories why Christopher Eccleston left after one season? Come on. Is the author getting paid by the word? As a reasonably competent writer, I would die of embarrassment to have my name appended to this lengthy mishmash.There is, of course, the possibility that I misunderstood the author completely and that he is neither a NuWHO hater nor a Cymruphobe; but, if so, it's damn hard to tell. I'm giving this book a generous two stars because I have more than four decades of WHO-watching experience behind me, and I will read just about anything related to Classic or NuWHO. But frankly, I'm a little sorry I bothered with this.
