The Brilliant Book Of Doctor Who 2011 Review (4.5/5)


The BBC Marketing campaign for the fifth season of Doctor Who has been incredibly extensive, and the latest hard-back to come out of the campaign is dubbed The Brilliant Book Of Doctor Who 2011. This release seems uncannily similar to a bargain-bin annual at first glance, but fans will quickly realise the episode guides, brand new behind-the-scenes facts and imagery and teasers for Series 6 make this anything but. Titles such as "The Dream's Lord Teasers" for the latter double-page spread do give off a whim of writers trying to find new ways of communicating the plots of each story, though the fact these could quickly prove massive in next year's episodes adds an extra layer of fan service to the book. Simply put, though at times, the limited double-page spreads do at times make for at times for too brief sections, but overall the release is well worth a look for any 2005-, 2010- or classic fan!
