21 JUNE 2005 | NON-FICTION | THE SHOOTING SCRIPTS book

An essential guide, from an insider's point of view (Head Writer, Russell T Davies), of the NEW SERIES. DOCTOR WHO - THE SHOOTING SCRIPTS is published on 13 October 2005 (RRP £18.99 512 pages - Hardback).

On the 26th of March 2005, Doctor Who returned to our screens after an absence of 16 years, with a new Doctor, a new assistant and thirteen thrilling new adventures.

This book collects together the entire shooting scripts for the first series. Seven of the scripts are by Russell T Davies, with the remainder by Stephen Moffat, Robert Shearman, Paul Cornell and Mark Gatiss. Each story contains the essential ingredients of time travel, adventure, and the mixing of the ordinary with the fantastical that have always characterized the series, while at the same time being thoroughly in tune with contemporary culture and society.

This is a DOCTOR WHO for an age defined by irony, technology and celebrity, and the shadow cast by 9/11. It is also a more cinematic series, with fast cutting and special effects that will satisfy viewers brought up on contemporary film and television sci-fi.

THE SHOOTING SCRIPTS give a unique insight into how the series was visualized and acted. Alongside the exciting action sequences and dialogue are hints about the characters emotions, and evocations of the settings in which their adventures take place. Pacy, atmospheric and thoroughly absorbing, these scripts practically read like novels. Each of the scripts will be illustrated with screen grabs, ensuring the book appeals to broad audience.

Introductions by the writers will explain the inspirations for the new series and the fascinating process of creating a DOCTOR WHO script.

Justin Richards' "newbies guide" to DOCTOR WHO aliens is published on May 19 by BBC BOOKS. RRP £7.99.

This 96-page paperback is aimed at 8-14 year olds who have become hooked to the NEW SERIES on Saturday nights. Some older fans have been critical of the BBC of producing items such as this just for kids. But we should remember that back in the 1970s TARGET BOOKS released very similar guide books. Books that are much sought after and probably on the shelves of ardent thirtysomething fans.

In issue DWM 355 of the magazine Bryan Hitch the concept designer, tells us how the new-look TARDIS was created.
