InSpace Helmet for a Cow 2, Paul Kirkley (Doctor Who Magazine,Radio Times,SFX) continues his witty and irreverent history ofDoctor Who, from the wilderness years of the 1990s when the 30th anniversary special was so bad, it didnt even go straight to video to its triumphant 50th birthday celebrations, when every single person in the world sat down to watchDoctor Whotogether (except Christopher Eccleston, who was busy).

Its the book that answers such burning questions as: Did Benny and Bj?rn from Abbareallyplan aTorchwoodmusical calledWeevil Rock You? Which Doctors shared a bed? DidBlue Peterand Sad Tony eventually find love? How did David Tennant become his own father-in-law? And was there really a sequel toCarnival of Monstersat Wembley Arena, or did we dream it?

Paul Kirkleywas born in Leeds some hours before The Daemons episode three, but they kept you in hospital for ages in those days, so he missed it. Currently deputy editor of Cambridge's daily newspaper, Paul writes regularly for SFX, and has frequently contributed to websites such as Behind the Sofa and Tachyon TV. In 2011, he beat off competition from other journalists to win the coveted-ish title of Newspaper Columnist of the Year (East of England), a trick he repeated in 2013.

Lars Pearsonhas served as editor-in-chief and publisher of Mad Norwegian Press since 2001, overseeing such works as the Hugo Award-winning Chicks Dig... essay book series and the (to date) eight-volume About Time series, a seminal work on Doctor Who. With Lance Parkin, he co-writes the definitive Doctor Who timeline Ahistory (now 30,000 words bigger than War and Peace). For three years, he was a staff editor at Wizard Entertainment, working on such magazines as InQuest Gamer, ToyFare and Wizard.
