In the About Time 3 Second Edition, Tat Wood vastly expands upon the discussion of the Jon Pertwee era of Doctor Who, bringing this installment of the About Time series up to the size and elaborate depth of its fellows. News essays in this edition include The Daemons: What the Hell Are They Doing?, Where Were Torchwood When All This Was Happening? and Is This Any Way to Run a Galactic Empire?.Many existing essays and entries have been greatly retooled, and evidence from the new Doctor Who series (unbroadcast when this book was first published) has been taken into account. All told, this Second Edition has nearly three times the material of its predecessor. (At present, Mad Norwegian has no plans to do second editions of the other About Time volumes.)
Constituting the largest reference work on "Doctor Who" ever written, the six-volume "About Time" strives to become the ultimate reference guide to the worlds longest-running science fiction program. Written by Lawrence Miles ("Faction Paradox") and long-time sci-fi commentator Tat Wood, "About Time" focuses on the continuity of "Doctor Who" (its characters, alien races and the like), but also examines the show as a work of social commentary. In particular, Miles and Wood dissect the politics and social issues that shaped the show during its unprecedented 26-year run (from 1963 to 1989), detailing how the issues of the day influenced this series. As part of this grand opus, About Time 2 examines "Doctor Who" Seasons 4 to 6 (1966 to 1969) -- a massive paradigm shift for the show, as Patrick Troughton takes over the lead role. Among other things, About Time 2 answers such vitally important "Who" questions as "What's the Timeline of the Cybermen?," "Whatever Happened to the USA?" and "Did Sergeant Pepper Know the Doctor?"
