What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A marvellous love letter to the many brilliant TV works of Russell T Davies, this book is smartly entertaining, always accessible, and unafraid to reflect on evolving cultural norms. Embracing the subversive and the difficult alongside the glorious and the groundbreaking, Emily Garside is your thought-provoking guide to an array of topics – the asexual Doctor in Doctor Who, nerds, politics, TV drama of its time and ahead of its time, Welshness, sex, even Margaret Thatcher as the ultimate unseen villain. Yes, it’s all in here. And just as fabulously queer as you’d imagine, faithful reader.”– “Professor Matt Hills, author of Triumph of a Time Lord and Doctor Who: The Unfolding Event”
