Doctor Who: The Four Doctors by Paul Cornell

Book Preface

Doctor Who is about the adventures of a mysterious time-traveller known only as the Doctor. The Doctor travels through space and time in a craft known as the TARDIS, an acronym for “Time and Relative Dimension in Space”. The Doctor is usually accompanied by one or more companions, who are often attractive females. The tone of the stories varie from serious to comic, from gothic horror to pantomime camp.
