Russell T Davies and Benjamin Cook update The Writer’s Tale.
It dragged a little in places, but that was the nature of the beast.
The original text of the book is all included as you would expect in this updated tome.
But dont let that moniker ofThe Final Chapterfool you.
You, instead, get a further 300+ pages, charting whats happened inDoctor Whosince the first book concluded.

That said, the feel of the first edition remains very much intact.
Once again, its as interesting as ever to see just what time many of the e-mails were sent.
The new book isnt shy of tasty titbits.
Quite the contrary, in fact.
I loved passages like that in the first edition of this book, and I loved them again here.
My ultimate conclusion from it all is that Ill never write aDoctor Whoepisode in my life.
Im not sure my mental health could stand it.
But Ill gladly be re-reading this book.
If edition one was my favourite book of 2008, then this is surely the first must-buy of 2010.
A superb, fascinating piece of work.
