Constituting the largest reference work on 'Doctor Who' ever written, the six-volume 'About Time' strives to become the ultimate reference guide to the world's longest-running science fiction program. Written by long-time sci-fi commentator Tat Wood, 'About Time' focuses on the continuity of 'Doctor Who' (its characters, alien races and the like), but also examines the show as a work of social commentary. In particular, Wood dissects the politics and social issues that shaped the show during its unprecedented 26-year run (from 1963 to 1989), detailing how the issues of the day influenced this series. As part of this grand opus, About Time 6 examines 'Doctor Who' Seasons 22 to 26 (1985 to 1989) - the end of the show's classic run, starring Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy - as well as the 1996 TV Movie starring Paul McGann. Among other things, About Time 6 answers such vitally important 'Who' questions as 'Is Continuity a Pointless Waste of Time?', 'What are the Oddest Romances in the Programme's History?' and 'Does Paul McGann Count?'Wood, Tat is the author of 'About Time 6', published 2007 under ISBN 9780975944653 and ISBN 0975944657.
