About Time 7: Doctor Who Seasons 1-2 2005-2006, by Tat Wood with Dorothy Ail

I was sent a review copy of this in pdf form some time ago, and feel conscious that I have not given it its due now that the book has been on sale for nearly two months. In its seventh volume, the first to deal with the twenty-first century revival of Doctor Who, About Time still fails to deliver on its mission statement. It's too badly referenced

I didn't realize this was out already! I've rather drifted from fandom in the last few years. I will have to wait a bit longer for it (lack of money and time, as usual). As you say, Wood lacks depth and accuracy, but he does have tremendous breadth and an endearing writing style - one might say dangerously so, as sometimes his jokes blind this reader to the unfounded (or just plain wrong) nature of his assertions. It's a pity he hasn't done something in recognition of all the complaints about errors, though.

I know that his publisher is working on the latter point.
