Four
years after the excellent `Making of Doctor Who` book was published it was
decided to re-release an updated version in 1976. Much had happened in the
ensuing period, not least a change of Doctor and production team as well as an
increasing number of novelisations of the series under the Target imprint owned
by Tandem Publishing which was a division of Howard and Wyndham. Features in
the `World of Horror` magazine, two special poster mags, the new Doctor Who
Appreciation Society and most of all the 1973 Radio Times special did mean that
this updated version did not hold quite the same allure as its 1972
predecessor. In four years Doctor Who
material was not so thin on the ground. The book was still credited to Terrance
Dicks and Malcolm Hulke and included some of the material from the first,
sometimes revised and updated as well as new material. The cover features a
rather striking piece of artwork of Tom as the Doctor though presumably to fit
the brand he is in front of a target!
