Who started the Time War?

Are there female Sontarans?

Is the Doctor a Liverpool fan?

In this collection of his columns from Doctor Who Figurine Collection magazine, Eddie Robson ponders the knotty questions thrown up in the last sixty years by possibly the most convoluted single work of fiction ever created, the BBC’s Doctor Who. Sometimes the answers lie in other stories, often told beyond the TV screen, sometimes we just have to make them up for ourselves. And sometimes the answers aren’t as obvious as they seem: for instance, is the Fugitive Doctor definitely a past Doctor?

If you’ve ever wondered if the Doctor really built the TARDIS, or whether UNIT really was a secret organisation, this is the book for you. If you haven’t wondered those things, read this book and you will.

Eddie Robson is the author of the novels Tomorrow Never Knows (2015), Hearts of Oak (2020) and Drunk On All Your Strange New Words (2022), and the audio comedies Car Crash (2021) and Welcome To Our Village, Please Invade Carefully (2012-14). His TV credits include Sarah & Duck, The Amazing World of Gumball and the Chinese adaptation of Humans. He has written dozens of Doctor Who audio plays for Big Finish, as well as short stories and comic strips, and is a regular contributor to Doctor Who Magazine. He lives in Lancaster with his wife, children and cats, and estimates he has heard the Doctor Who theme at least ten thousand times in his life. Maybe twenty thousand.
