[Billy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting if you’re a fan of 1970s Doctor Who and interested in the processes of making the show.

[Don · Rating 3 out of 5]

More interesting makings-of and reflections, this time from classic Who's middle period. Not nearly as fascinating as the sixties' material, but that certainly is at least in part due to my own bias. Still some occasional great stories and anecdotes though.

[Justin K. Rivers · Rating 4 out of 5]

A collection of interviews from a variety of different people. If that's what you are looking for, it's perfect for you. For the in-depth Who scholar.

I particularly enjoy the remarks preceding each interview, giving the context and history of the piece.
