Dave Thompson, author of best-selling biographies of Kurt Cobain,
John Travolta, David Bowie and many more, turns his attention now
to the longest life of them all, Doctor Who. Packed with crucial
revelation and candid insight, "Eclectic Gypsy" is the first book
ever to examine this remarkable life as it has unfolded through the
pages of the media, not only on Planet Earth, but across the
universe. Drawing upon historical documentation, newspaper and
magazine articles, hundreds of hours of interview tape and, of
course, a vast corpus of television, audio and written material,
Eclectic Gypsy traces the legendary Doctor from his birth on the
planet Gallifrey over 700 years ago, through ten regenerations and
countless adventures in time and space. From his epic encounters
with such alien races as the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Slitheen,
through the string of companions that have accompanied the Doctor
on his perilous journey, and onto the world of Gallifrey itself,
Eclectic Gypsy explores the life and times of the Doctor, as seen
through the eyes of the inter-galactic news corps. From the driest
academic journal to the most sensationalist tabloid, it reveals the
truth behind the being that fans across the cosmos know simply as
"the Doctor" -- and asks whether they really know him at all?
