When Sydney Newman conceived the idea for Doctor Who in 1963, he envisioned a show in which the Doctor and his companions would visit and observe, but not interfere with, events in history. That plan was dropped early on and the Doctor has happily meddled with historical events for decades. This collection of new essays examines how the Doctor's engagement with history relates to Britain's colonial past, nostalgia for village life, Norse myths, alternate history, and the impact of historical decisions on the present.
Carey Fleiner is senior lecturer in classical and early medieval history at the University of Winchester. Her research interests include film and television depictions of the Romans, and the cultural influence of the music of Ray Davies and the Kinks. Dene October is a senior lecturer at University of the Arts London, running options in fan cultures and Doctor Who. His research interests include the media, performance and the legacy of David Bowie.
