Published by Panini in collaboration with Hachette Partworks, Doctor Who: The Complete History is a comprehensive Doctor Who partwork that launched in September 2015 and is released fortnightly as a series of lavish hardback books. The Complete History claims to be ‘The definitive guide to the making of Doctor Who’.
“There are so many wonderful books devoted to the history of Doctor Who, but a partwork has the beauty of building up across many volumes, so there can be a more detail,” says co-editor Mark Wright. “And not to put too fine a point on it, as Doctor Who fans we are collectors. We like having things that line up and look pretty on the shelf – and that can be pulled out and read again and again.”
