Purchase options and add-ons

In Companion Piece, editors L.M. Myles (Chicks Unravel Time) and Liz Barr bring together a host of award-winning female writers, media professionals and more to examine the wide array of humans, aliens and tin dogs who have accompanied the Doctor in his adventures throughout time and space.

Tansy Rayner Roberts (Ink Black Magic) finds the defining attribute of Sara Kingdom, while Amal El-Mohtar (The Honey Month) looks at the extent to which the Doctor himself is a companion, particularly to the Brigadier. Nina Allan (“Angelus”) rewatches – with some concern – Sarah Jane Smith’s debut for the first time in ages, and Seanan McGuire (Rosemary and Rue) addresses the ethics of using violence through the lens of Leela, Ace and Amy Pond.

Other contributors include Karen Miller (The Innocent Mage), Deborah Stanish (Chicks Unravel Time), Lynne Thomas (Chicks Dig Time Lords), Joan Francis Turner (Dust), Mary Robinette Kowal (Shades of Milk and Honey) and Tehani Wessely (FableCroft Publishing).

    5.0 out of 5 stars What Would the Doctor Be Without His Companions?
    Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    From the folks at Mad Norwegian Press, who brought you CHICKS DIG TIME LORDS, CHICKS UNRAVEL TIME, etc., yet a new book of essays about DOCTOR WHO! MNP's books are like peanuts—I just devour them happily. Certainly there are some essays I like more than others, and this edition is no exception, however, all the essays are notable even if they're not my cup of tea.

    Some of my favorites in this volume: "Where in Eternity… is Josephine Grant Jones?" since Jo Grant is so often dismissed as being a featherhead (she's also loyal and courageous), "Mouth on Legs," which discusses Tegan, a tribute to the Doctor's first woman companion in "The Barbara Strain," thoughtful pieces on the much-maligned Peri and the vastly underused Turlough, even a nice essay on Harry Sullivan, who, despite being a bit out of his league, was never an imbecile. Both Liz Shaw and Zoë get their scientific due, as does the first incarnation of Romana, who spent a large amount of time, IMHO, in the shadow of Lalla Ward's succeeding interpretation. Your favorite is here, from Susan to Victoria, Sarah Jane to Ace, and into the 21st century with Rose, Jack, Martha, and Donna.

    DOCTOR WHO fans will enjoy. Mad Norwegian, keep slinging out those peanuts!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Insights into the Companions and how they Shaped Doctor Who
    Reviewed in Canada on April 20, 2015

    Essays on the companions from TV's Doctor Who (although there is one excellent essay on Bernice Summerfield - a wonderful Big Finish Companion). A mixed collection of essays written by fans (including Una McCormack who is a Doctor Who writer). They vary from the good to the Excellent. Warning, it will make you want to rewatch old episodes!

    Another lovely book from Mad Norwegian. As with their "Chicks Dig..." series, the book included a great variety of essays by women writers covering the whole gamut of the series Companions from Ian and Barbara to Clara Oswald. If you like Doctor Who I'm sure you will enjoy this

    3.0 out of 5 stars A mixed bag
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Doctor who has suffered from a lack of diversity in its writers. A single permanent voice can be limited and hard to shake. In terms of the show this has been the White Male. In terms of this book it's Feminists.

    While some of the best writing in this book celebrates and interrogates in equal measure, and not only is there humour to be found in these pages, but valid and worth-noting criticisms, there are in some articles a heavy and bitter bias against the creative efforts of others.

    Unfortunately the lampooning of other humans doesn't appeal as much as pure and witty writing.
    There is a balance, for one essay bemoaning useless writers there is another celebrating the overlooked arcs and successes.

    However, essay is the operative word. Some pieces flow with charm mixing observed fact with opinion and interpretation and are delightful, while others feel like a piece of schoolwork lifted from the bag of a self righteous seventeen year old.

    This book is a fantastic read, and is presented in an easy, readable way. Just be aware that some essays focus on specific facts that skew the wider perspective, and (although I appreciated the points they were trying to get across) some of the more manipulative and counter-productive feminism might well sit uncomfortably with the gentle and fair minded among us.

    This review may seem heavy handed, and I urge you to see I have a great deal of praise for this book and the overall standard of writing. The difficulty I have with some of the viewpoints is more to do with the structure and logic of them in a book about what is otherwise a wonderful, diverse, and harmless program.
