Publisher's Summary

A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO CASH IN ON THE POPULAR BBC TV SERIES
At last! It's the book they thought there wasn't a market for; packed with information so trivial we guarantee it will have no relevance to your life (if you have one).
Inside this slender yet reassuringly expensive volume you will find:

• The saddest items of merchandise
• The rudest monsters in Doctor Who
• Absolutely no lavish illustrations
• Season Eighteen

and lots of other things!
"Hilarious, witty ...sorry, which book?" - Sophie Aldred
"So good, it would have taken me a whole day to write it." - Terrance Dicks
"The ideal reference work for you, if you're not a Scarf-Wearing Fanatical Completist (and if you are you'll have to buy it anyway)" - Peter Darvill-Evans
"Nothing in zee world can shtop me now!" - Herman Zaroff

Main Focus

A tongue-in-cheek collection of trivia and humorous observations related to Doctor Who.
