The next issue of the Doctor Who Chronicles bookazine covers the birth of the series. (I suspected that they would combine 1963 and 1964 into one volume. '63 is key - but only a handful of episodes were broadcast that year).
As well as the creation of the series and its pilot episode, it will cover the following stories: An Unearthly Child, The Daleks, Edge of Destruction, Marco Polo, The Keys of Marinus, The Aztecs, The Sensorites, The Reign of Terror, Planet of Giants and The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
If previous issues are anything to go by, there will be profiles of the key players both behind the scenes and in front of the camera, VFX, studio work, location work, what else was on TV, and Doctor Who in the media.
We usually get pieces on that year's Annual and merchandise, but this should be limited to just the beginnings of Dalekmania.
This is the second Hartnell volume, and the first time we'll get consecutive years. Colin Baker is yet to get one, or any of the new era Doctors save for Ten, but it was only to be expected that the origins of the series would be released as a Chronicle in this anniversary year.
It is released on 8th June, and is available to pre-order now at the Panini website.
