Britton\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe long-running popular TV series \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e is, Piers Britton argues, a 'uniquely design intensive text': its time-and-space-travel premise requires that designers be tirelessly imaginative in devising new worlds and entities and recreating past civilizations. While \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e's attempts at worldbuilding are notorious for being hit-and-miss – old jokes about wobbly walls and sink plungers die hard – the distinctiveness of the series' design imagery is beyond question. And over the course of six decades\u003ci\u003e Doctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e has produced designs which are not only iconic but, in being repeatedly revisited and updated, have proven to be an ever-more important element in the series' identity and mythos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the first in-depth study of \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e's costumes, sets and graphics, Piers Britton offers an historical overview of both the original and the revived series, explores theoretical frameworks for evaluating \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e design, and provides detailed analysis of key images. Case studies include the visual morphology of \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e's historical adventures, the evaluative character of cosplay, and the ongoing significance for the \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e brand of such high-profile designs as the Daleks and the TARDIS interior, the 'time-tunnel' title sequence, and the costumes of the Fourth and Thirteenth Doctors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781350116870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40799250055374,"sku":"9781350116870","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_b055698b-6730-4715-8595-a63022192b3a.jpg?v=1642490271","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781350116870","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
