I've just been re-reading Peter Haining's 21st Anniversay hardback 'The Key To Time' (WH Allen) - I'm sure most of his research came via the Doctor Who Production Office of the time, and that everything mentioned within the book was followed-up years ago, but as a mouth-watering teaser of contemporary TV reports, trailers and newspaper articles on the programme it still works.
It was always the reference book I turned to least as a schoolkid, but this far down the line I'm getting more out of it. Maybe it's time to dig-out all my old DWM magazines now...

Increadibly prolific, not terribly good, that's our Peter. The best Who book from this era is Bentham's Doctor Who the Early Years.

I did not see this before... I am currently up to about 1974 in this one, after finding it in a closet!! (Along with a hardback Mark of the Rani and Gunfighters..E-Bay here I come lol) Its a good book, but relies on a lot of articles and such. Its like the Cuttings Archive before the internet...  |
