Have to admit at the start。 This book is not what I expected。 I expected a book about the behind the scenes of how the different TARDIS rooms were made but what I got was an fake instruction manuals that took itself a little too seriously。 Now it might be because I feel like I got duped that I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would but this would be very fun to read if I was younger。 Maybe around 13， when I first got into Doctor Who， this would have been just the right amount of sil Have to admit at the start。 This book is not what I expected。 I expected a book about the behind the scenes of how the different TARDIS rooms were made but what I got was an fake instruction manuals that took itself a little too seriously。 Now it might be because I feel like I got duped that I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would but this would be very fun to read if I was younger。 Maybe around 13， when I first got into Doctor Who， this would have been just the right amount of silly/seriousness to enjoy a lot more。 Or if I knew exactly what it was before reading it。 But I can’t say the title of this book is a lie。 。。。more

I stopped buying factual who books for various reasons but the main reason is simply that the books are instantly out of date。 I should explain。 When I first started buying the factual who books it was the 1990's。 Doctor who was off air， to all intents and purposes it was finished and the books were therefore definitive。 They were based on a complete set of unmoving stories。 These new who factual books aren't。 They are based on an evolving show。 This book is a perfect example of what I mean。 I'v I stopped buying factual who books for various reasons but the main reason is simply that the books are instantly out of date。 I should explain。 When I first started buying the factual who books it was the 1990's。 Doctor who was off air， to all intents and purposes it was finished and the books were therefore definitive。 They were based on a complete set of unmoving stories。 These new who factual books aren't。 They are based on an evolving show。 This book is a perfect example of what I mean。 I've bought it because I weakened and bought the dalek manual and as I have the dalek and TARDIS handbooks that were published over a （slightly hard to believe） decade ago now I thought it might be nice to have both manuals as well。 Thing is this was published in 2018。 So it features virtually no Jodie material。 And the subsequent Jodie stories over her two series （which I loved） naturally add more information to these kind of books。 That's what I mean about being instantly out of date。 However。 This is a good book。 It's packed with great photographs and excellent illustrations。 It's beautiful to look at and well written by the authors， mike tucker is reliable as always。 But as an old fan there's nothing new here。 That's not a complaint as the nature of this kind of book is a good indication of the content。 It may be familiar to me but I did still enjoy it。 I may not buy anymore factual books but never say never。。。 a cyberman manual would be tempting。。。 。。。more

The way this whole thing is written is very cool。 There are a lot of retcons and inside jokes。 And I'd really love to have a physical copy of this。 The way this whole thing is written is very cool。 There are a lot of retcons and inside jokes。 And I'd really love to have a physical copy of this。 。。。more

A glorious celebration of the many years of Doctor Who， with a focus on the TARDIS - the time travelling ship from the show。 This book is packed with case studies based on episodes from the original and modern series， tonnes of information on layouts and general trivia， and technobabble galore。 I’d recommend this to any Doctor Who fan， however due to the nature of the extreme technical focus of this book it may not appeal to all fans。 Thankfully this book is filled to the brim with personality a A glorious celebration of the many years of Doctor Who， with a focus on the TARDIS - the time travelling ship from the show。 This book is packed with case studies based on episodes from the original and modern series， tonnes of information on layouts and general trivia， and technobabble galore。 I’d recommend this to any Doctor Who fan， however due to the nature of the extreme technical focus of this book it may not appeal to all fans。 Thankfully this book is filled to the brim with personality and interesting details， and really enriched my experience as a fan of this wonderful show。 。。。more

I just skimmed some of the case studies。 It was way too technical for me。

It’s actually amusing。 The thought that went into incorporating all the Doctor’s timelines， as well as referencing additional “materials”， made this a funny read。

Heeeeel nice en gedetailleerd。 Enige dat echt mist is references acherin naar de afleveringen van de Case Studies en bepaalde uitspraken， vooral voor de oude afleveringen。

Great visuals and graphic design are let down by the small size of the book。 The text is a little dry， I often found myself skimming ahead。

Finally！ After the instruction manuals for Star Trek and Star Wars ships， we got one for the Tardis！ I do wonder how they came up with it and how everything fits into the series， because the vast majority of the things within have never been mentioned！ But just having it and reading it is awesome！

A giant love in of gloriously put-together technobabble， with 55+ years of history woven together into a single， beautiful volume。 There are in-jokes a plenty， and the entire package is full of utterly gorgeous photos of the TARDIS interior， some specially created for the first time （such as Missy's console room）， and a much more proper look at the interior of the 8th Doctor's TARDIS。 Something I inhaled， with endless geeky squees as I flipped through the pages。 A giant love in of gloriously put-together technobabble， with 55+ years of history woven together into a single， beautiful volume。 There are in-jokes a plenty， and the entire package is full of utterly gorgeous photos of the TARDIS interior， some specially created for the first time （such as Missy's console room）， and a much more proper look at the interior of the 8th Doctor's TARDIS。 Something I inhaled， with endless geeky squees as I flipped through the pages。 。。。more

Manuale d'uso e descrizione dei vari incidenti accaduti sul Tardis del Dottore。Immagini fotografiche e diagrammi dei vari elementi della console， i vari ambienti e i diversi stili utilizzati。 Interessante， una bella passeggiata nella memoria della serie e qualche dato in più sulla nostra time capsule Type 40 Mark III preferita。 Manuale d'uso e descrizione dei vari incidenti accaduti sul Tardis del Dottore。Immagini fotografiche e diagrammi dei vari elementi della console， i vari ambienti e i diversi stili utilizzati。 Interessante， una bella passeggiata nella memoria della serie e qualche dato in più sulla nostra time capsule Type 40 Mark III preferita。 。。。more
