Over the last three decades, several film production companies have held the rights to make a Doctor Who movie. To this day, intense speculation surrounds the details of these unmade productions. Here, for the first time, is an in-depth exploration of the Doctor Who films that almost were, including detailed synopses and extracts from the scripts themselves, interviews with the writers, behind-the-scenes articles explaining how these productions came to be, why the contemplated films were never shot, and the role played by stars such as Leonard Nimoy and Steven Spielberg.The Nth Doctor is a lot of funby showing the process of how Doctor Who might have started again, we can get a lot of insight about why it is one of our favorite programs.Michael Lee, Minnesota Doctor Who Information ListI really enjoyed this look at what Doctor Who might have been. The Nth Doctor is a nice addition to the range of non-fiction Who and covers an area about which little was previously known.David Howe, Howes Who

"Ah yes, I remember it well...",

This review is from: The Nth Doctor (Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)) (Paperback)
How many times have you wondered "What might have been?" It seems fitting that, of all people, a time traveler should be the focus of such an exploration. In "The Nth Doctor", the reader gains insight into the many different scripts (and variations on same) that might have become the next "Doctor Who" feature.
I came away from this book with a greater understanding of the process of putting a story together and producing it: how opportunities are gained and lost, how a small change in a character's background or motivation can make or break a plot and how a story can be more than the some of its parts but, at the same time, lessened by having too many parts. The only downside was that, by the very nature of the topic, many of the stories were very similar, up to and including identical or near-identical narrative. Even if you're a budding writer, rather than an avid "Doctor Who" fan, this is a book you should consider reading.
