This book is terrific for any level of fan of the Doctor's recent adventures!

The first half of the book covers behind the scenes happenings in a very general way: everything from the efforts to bring the show back to casting to costumes to effects to sound. It never gets too technical and the way it's put together it flows very nicely from one topic to the next giving you an idea of just how many people are needed to make this show work.

The second half of the book is sort of an episode guide for the first two seasons. Each episode (or pair of episodes) gets four to six pages of what was going on behind the scenes for that particular episode. There's plenty of little trivia, photos from the set and production art as well.

The last few pages take a look "forward" to season 3 and if I had any "complaints" about the book it's that it doesn't cover seasons 3 and 4 but hopefully another book will come out to cover those.

Allons-y!
