'Every story ever told really happened...' (The Doctor, 'Hell
Bent', 2015) Stories are, fundamentally what Doctor Who is all
about. In Once Upon a Time Lord, Ivan Phillips explores a wide
range of perspectives on these stories and presents a lively and
richly-varied analysis of the accumulated tales that constitute
this popular modern mythology. Concerned equally with 'classic' and
'new' Who, Phillips looks at how aspects of the Time Lord's story
have been developed on television and beyond, tracing lines of
connection and divergence across various media. He discusses Doctor
Who as a mythology that has drawn on its own past in often complex
ways, at the same time reworking elements from many other sources,
whether literary, cinematic, televisual or historical. Once Upon A
Time Lord offers an original take on this singular hero's journey,
reading the unsettled enigma of the Doctor in relation to the
characters, narratives and locations that he has encountered across
more than half a century.
