2 See Lance Parkin, ‘Canonicity Matters: Defining the Doctor Who Canon’, in David Butler (ed.), Time and Relative Dissertations in Space: Critical Perspectives on Doctor Who (Manchester, 2007), pp. 246–62. For the 1963–89 series and the 1996 telemovie, I have found David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker’s Doctor Who: The Television Companion (London, 1998) and Howe, Stammers and Walker’s Doctor Who – The Handbook series (London, 1992–8) to be invaluable. For the ‘reboot’ of the programme beginning in 2005, Gary Russell’s Doctor Who: The Encylopedia, 2nd edn (London, 2011) has served me in good stead.

23 The case of the sixth Doctor and the planet Kolpasha is an example of this. One thing that everyone seems able to agree to is the extremely bad taste of this Doctor’s coat, which he claims was tailored on this planet, the ‘fashion capital of the universe’ (‘The Year of the Pig’, writer Matthew Sweet, Big Finish audio, 2006). If this is true, then the Doctor’s claim to be a trendsetter as stylish as Beau Brummell is true – but probably only on Kolpasha.

Chapter 1: Lost in Time

1 Lance Parkin, ‘Canonicity Matters: Defining the Doctor Who Canon’, in David Butler (ed.), Time and Relative Dissertations in Space: Critical Perspectives on Doctor Who (Manchester, 2007), p. 253. In this regard, there is a significant difference between the tenor of the show in its 1963–89 form and in its 2005-to-the-present incarnation, the positions of head writer and producer having been combined in the latter period to give Russell T. Davies and Stephen Moffat primary responsibility for the direction of the programme.

11 In the first episode of the programme, the Doctor’s granddaughter Susan claims, ‘I made up the name TARDIS from the initials. Time And Relative Dimension In Space.’ This seems to suggest that the Doctor had a hand in creating the vehicle, and also contradicts later continuity in which the Time Lords, the Doctor’s people, use the term in much the way we use ‘automobile’. When we next hear the name of the machine explained (in 1965’s ‘The Time Meddler’), ‘Dimension’ has changed to ‘Dimensions’, which it remained for most of the classic series.
12 I do not contend that Doctor Who is clearly and unproblematically positivistic, a qualification that I make good in the next section.

3 Some of these tropes reappear, merely coincidentally, in Doctor Who. For example, aside from the original ‘creation’ of the universe, the Doctor has been involved in two other cosmic ‘creations’ (or ‘recreations’) in the episodes ‘Terminus’ (1983) and ‘The Big Bang’ (2010). A malevolent entity called ‘The Great Intelligence’ figures in the eerie Patrick Troughton tales ‘The Abominable Snowmen’ (1967) and ‘The Web of Fear’ (1968). The Great Intelligence resurfaces to play a major role in Series 7 of the new show.

30 Published near the peak of the original programme’s popularity in the United States, The Official Doctor Who and the Daleks Book by John Peel and Terry Nation (New York, 1988) sets the events of ‘Genesis’ a few hundred years before that of ‘The Daleks’, but implies they are part of a continuous history (p. 121). Tribe and Goss’s The Dalek Handbook (London, 2011) claims that the Doctor actually changed history in ‘Genesis’, and that the Dalek future examined in all the preceding televised stories before 1974 had been overwritten by a ‘new timeline’ (p. 65).

33 Jacqueline Rayner, et al., Doctor Who: The Visual Dictionary, rev. edn (London, 2009), p. 44. Something similar is suggested in the entry ‘Time War, the Last Great’ in Russell, Doctor Who, p. 354. Tribe and Goss’s Dalek Handbook claims that ‘Genesis’ was the beginning of merely a ‘phoney war’ between the two parties played out behind the scenes of televised Dalek stories in the late 1970s and 80s.
34 Created by Lawrence Miles, Faction Paradox is a cross between a time-travelling voodoo cult and a crime syndicate, and is conceived as the antithesis of the Time Lords, wanting the disruption of established history for its own sake. Several books, from Miles’s Alien Bodies (London, 1997) to Stephen Cole and Peter Anghelides’ The Ancestor Cell (London, 2000), feature the Faction.
35 Hordes of Daleks are shown in ‘The Evil of the Daleks’ (1967) and ‘Planet of the Daleks’, but the effects (achieved by the use of commercially available toy Daleks on a miniature set) do not exactly encourage the suspension of disbelief.

10 The naming and history of the Earth-native ‘Silurians’ represent one of the more bizarre and interesting tales of the development of a non-human race in Doctor Who through the interpenetration of various media, including novels and comics featuring the creatures, and even fan views reconstructing the coherency of their history. These creatures, inaccurately called ‘Silurians’ in reference to their time of origin in both the title of their première story, in the media, and in official treatments of the series like Howe’s Doctor Who: A Book of Monsters, were named ‘reptile men’ or Homo reptilia by the Doctor in ‘Doctor Who and the Silurians’. They hail in fact from the Eocene epoch. This origin of 56 to 34 million years ago (much closer to the present than the Silurian period, which was slightly more than 400 million years ago) would take into account the fact that the creatures appear to have evolved intelligence as the descendants of non-dinosaur reptiles that flourished in the earlier Jurassic or Cretaceous periods. It would not, however, explain how they had managed to keep alive tyrannosaurs – as guards or mounts – long after they were thought to have died out, or how they suffered competition from fairly intelligent, chimp-like primates before going into hibernation (‘Twilight of the Silurians’, Doctor Who Weekly 21–2, March 1980; reprinted and colourised in Marvel Comics’ Doctor Who 18, March 1986, pp. 23–30). Adding to the confusion is the reason for their underground and undersea hibernation: the approach to ancient Earth of a ‘little planet’ that threatens to plummet to the ground and cause mass devastation. The astronomical visitor – identified by Malcolm Hulke in his novelisation of ‘Doctor Who and the Silurians’ as the Moon – in reality had already taken up orbit several billion years before the events in Hulke’s prologue (Doctor Who and the Cave-Monsters, London, 1974, pp. 7–11). The Doctor identifies the reptiles as ‘Eocenes’ in ‘The Sea Devils’, an episode in which we meet a completely different-looking, sea-dwelling version of Homo reptilian, which is more naturally aggressive to humans. Further biological subgroups of the creatures appear in 1984’s ‘Warriors of the Deep’ and Gary Russell’s novel The Scales of Injustice (London, 1996). The current iteration of Silurian creatures reintroduced in ‘The Hungry Earth’ in 2010 is much more human-looking, and is distinctive in having at least one member (Madame Vastra) who is a personal friend of the Doctor’s (‘A Good Man Goes to War’, 2011).

4 The only other reasonable contender for this title is the set of BBC novels published in 2000 forming a story arc in which the eighth Doctor has lost his memory and is awaiting the slow regrowth of his TARDIS. The first of these, The Burning (by Justin Richards), takes place in England in the 1890s. Five novels later, the Doctor has reached Escape Velocity (by Colin Brake) to leave Brussels, Belgium and Earth in 2001. This will clearly be a longer period of ‘exile’ than the UNIT years.

26 The significant obstacle to this freedom for the Doctor in his first three incarnations is, of course, his spotty knowledge of how to work the ship (the knowledge is actively repressed by the Time Lords during his exile on Earth). In ‘An Unearthly Child’, the Doctor explains to Barbara and Ian why he can’t use the TARDIS to take them back to their own time: ‘You see, this isn’t working properly. Or rather the code is still a secret.’

39 This Greek name has two etymologies, both of which are telling in the context of Doctor Who. In its more linguistically certain meaning, it means ‘to steal’. But another etymology relates it to the Greek word for ‘foresight’.

21 Douglas Adams gives a nod to this problem in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: ‘The major problem is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner’s Time Traveler’s Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be described differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is further complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own mother or father. Most readers get as far as the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up; and in fact in later editions of the book all pages beyond this point have been left blank to save on printing costs’; The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (New York, 1980), pp. 87–8.

27 Mary Whitehouse, founder of the National Viewers’ and Listeners’ Association, and an evangelical Christian and social conservative, was an outspoken critic of television horror and violence in the 1970s. Her complaint about Doctor Who during these years was that it was screened too early (5.15 p.m.) and could cause ‘nightmares and bed-wetting among the under-sevens’; David J. Howe, Mark Stammers and Stephen James Walker, Doctor Who: The Seventies (London, 1994), p. 108.
