On 23 November 1963 a British institution was born.
Almost thirty years later Doctor Who commands a following matched
by no other British television programme. The Sixties is the definitive
record of the programme's early years when Doctor Who developed
its unique character. It provides a fascinating insight into a production
process very different fro the sophisticated studio methods of today, and
tells of the political wrangling within the BBC which nearly ended the
programme before it had properly begun.
Illustrated throughout with colour and black and white photographs,
most of which have never been published before, this is a meticulous record
of the early days of a cultural phenomenon. It is also a lovingly assembled
history of the art of television in a decade perhaps less jaded than our
own.
David J Howe, Mark Stammers and Stephen James Walker are the team behind
The Frame, one of the most polished and sophisticated of the Doctor
Who fanzines. They have contributed to many books and journals on Doctor
Who and are the authors of The Fourth Doctor Handbook. they
are acknowledged experts on television history.
