Adventures Across Space and Time brings together key academic,
critic and fan writings about Doctor Who alongside
newly-commissioned work addressing contemporary issues and debates
to form a comprehensive guide to the wider Whoniverse. The
perennially popular BBC series holds a unique place in the history
of television and of TV fandom: the longest running science-fiction
show, the series and its fan communities have tracked social and
cultural changes over its 60 year lifetime. Adventures Across Space
and Time presents classic writings on Who and its fandom by leading
scholars including John Fiske, Henry Jenkins, John Tulloch and Matt
Hills, but also represents writings and art by fans, including fans
who went on to become showrunners, writers or even the Doctor
himself, with contributions by Steven Moffat, Chris Chibnall,
Douglas Adams and Peter Capaldi. This innovative anthology
addresses Doctor Who's showrunners, Doctors, companions, enemies
and collaborators as well as issues and debates around queer
fandom, intersectionality, the 'wokeness' of the Doctor, fan media
including websites, podcasts and vlogs, fan activism and questions
of race and sexuality in relation to the show and its spin offs. It
considers Doctor Who as a peculiarly British phenomenon but also
one that has delighted, engaged and sometimes enraged viewers
around the world.
