Space Helmet for a Cow 2: The Mad, True Story of Doctor Who (1990-2013)
In Space Helmet for a Cow 2, Paul Kirkley (Doctor Who Magazine, Radio Times, SFX) continues his witty and irreverent history of Doctor Who, from the wilderness years of the 1990s - when the 30th anniversary special was so bad, it didn't even go straight to video - to its triumphant 50th birthday celebrations, when every single person in the world sat down to watch Doctor Who together (except Christopher Eccleston, who was busy).
It's the book that answers such burning questions as: Did Benny and Björn from Abba really plan a Torchwood musical called Weevil Rock You? Which Doctors shared a bed? Did Blue Peter and Sad Tony eventually find love? How did David Tennant become his own father-in-law? And was there really a sequel to Carnival of Monsters at Wembley Arena, or did we dream it?
