The Pandorica Opens by Frank Collins

I'm delighted to say that one our regular contributors, Frank Collins, will be having his first book published in a few weeks time.

NEW FROM CLASSIC TV PRESS:
Doctor Who: The Pandorica Opens - Exploring the Worlds of the Eleventh Doctor’ by Frank Collins

Since its revival in 2005, Doctor Who has been transformed from cult franchise into an award-winning, multi-platform, flagship BBC One drama watched by millions each week. A prime example of the 360-degree television experience that British broadcasters are hungry to commission and develop, Doctor Who is also central to the revitalisation of family viewing long thought impossible to resurrect. In 2010, the regeneration of Tenth Doctor David Tennant into Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith saw the keys to the Doctor Who kingdom handed over from Russell T. Davies to new showrunner Steven Moffat. His first series was a highly anticipated moment of change in the production regime of this long-running show. Matt Smith, joined by Karen Gillan as new companion Amy Pond, was an immediate critical success as the new Doctor.

Frank Collins examines this latest series of adventures by providing an in-depth analysis of episodes, characters, themes and ideas, and places Doctor Who within the wider cultural context of contemporary social, political, historical and psychological debates. A unique view of a television icon, providing much food for thought, this book is essential reading for fans of the new series.

This title, which will be published on 6th December 2010, is now available for PRE-ORDER direct from Classic TV Press www.classictvpress.co.uk at a special discount price of £12.49 (RRP £14.99). N.B. The book will also be available from Amazon and other online retailers but you will receive your copy more quickly and cheaply if you order direct from the publishers.

I have no hesitation in recommending Frank's first book. His contributions to CT have been of a consistently high quality and his in-depth subject knowledge, combined with his dedication to research, ensure this will make a perfect Christmas present for any Doctor Who fan.
