Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Okay episode guide, but try The Television Companion instead
Review: "It sits invaluably upon every fan's bookshelf and is a constant source of reference."
-Gary Russell, Doctor Who Monthly

If the above was written today, it would be referring instead to The Television Companion: The Unofficial and Unauthorized Guide to Doctor Who by David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker (also available from Amazon, but your best bet is to order from the Amazon UK site as it doesn't seem to be available from here as
yet-02 Dec 2003). The Television Companion is the result of exhaustive research and contains a great deal more information and opinion about the series than this book does.

If you're after a by-the-numbers episode guide then you'll be content with this book. However, I strongly urge you to look into purchasing The Television Companion instead if you want a book that gives in-depth coverage of each story.

Summary: At last a new edition
Review: This is it: the complete and updated DWPG: still the best Doctor Who reference book ever, now including up to the Paul McGann movie. A classic.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Now very out of date
Review: This is the original program guide, written while the series was still in production. Some small errors, and only good up to the 20th season. I bought mine almost new, so rereading fills me with bitter nostalgia, knowing that the show had only a few years to go.

Summary: The complete listing
Review: This is the revised Programme that replaces the earlier, incomplete 1983 model. A very handy guide to all 27 years of one of the best (if not the best) SF TV show. A must have for all dedicated Who fans.
