    About Time: The Unauthorized Guide to Doctor Who
    • In About Time, the whole of Doctor Who is examined through the lens of the real-world social and political changes as well as ongoing developments in television production that influenced the series in ways big and small over the course of a generation. Armed with these guidebooks, readers will be able to cast their minds back to 1975, 1982, 2005, and other years to best appreciate the series' content and character.

Volume 2 greatly expands upon the commentary and essays offered on Doctor Who Seasons 15 to 17: the Graham Williams Era of Doctor Who, including the "Key to Time" season, all starring the iconic Tom Baker as the fourth Doctor. Essays in this volume include: "Is Doctor Who Unsuitable for Adults?", "Why Does the Doctor's Age Keep Changing?" and "It's the Panto Essay, Isn't It Boys and Girls?"
