Reviews

"This book's full of intriguing, well-argued opinions and it's a delight to wallow in them. This is strongest when the authors are going against received wisdom or disagreeing with each other...It's a hugely successful book of which I'm sure the authors are rightly proud and I hope it sells like hot cakes." -- Finn Clark's Reviews "We have traditionally adored the books from Burk and Smith, and in reality this one is no different... Who's 50 gets a solid and very respectable 4 out of 5 so put it on your list of books to grab as you celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Doctor's travels through time and space." -- C.W. Buechler "Who's 50 is like being thrown the keys to the TARDIS with a temporal map to visit all those not-to-be-missed adventures in time and space." --Phil Ford, Doctor Who writer and executive producer of The Sarah Jane Adventures and Wizards Vs.
