Has the book actually been released yet?



[BabelColour]

@widowmaker75147 - Regrettably, no. The last I heard, there was a delay waiting for confirmation from CIN itself, as to whether their logo could go on the book's cover. I think the publishers are still waiting to hear.

This reads to me like the view of someone (like me) who grew up watching Doctor Who in the 1970s :-) Well done in getting this published. BTW I am clicking on "like" on your video's automatically now, as I start to watch them!

[BabelColour]

@dfarmbrough Was there *really* any other time to grow up with Doctor Who?

[MrGarath]

In giving a summation about a Fantasy Universe you shined a light on the real World we have to live in.

[BabelColour]

@MrGarath You are very insightful, as that, indeed, is the very crux of the essay. It's all about the allagory of Doctor Who and how that has shaped me.

[SakamotoSetsuna]

I think Morgan Freeman just lost his job as the voice of God.

Please come read me bedtime stories... <3

[TheEddiejones15]

is it me or does Babelcolor sound a bit like Stephen fry?!?

[dfarmbrough]

@BabelColour NO :)

[dfarmbrough]

@BabelColour Probably not... but I do envy those ten years older than me who had the privilege of watching the first Doctor. Those must have been exciting times!

[badwolf66]

So True and So real to todays climate yet many people are blind to it.

[BinroWasRight]

@BabelColour Indeed. As Craig Ferguson said of the show, it's about the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism :~)

[BinroWasRight]

Brilliant! You are an excellent ambassador for Doctor Who and have summed up beautifully the show's ongoing themes of freedom and free will vs. intolerance, corruption and oppression

[MrPsychic8472]

The Doctor could very easily be known as The Dreamer, of Utopia where everyone is free and good and where everybody lives.

[Craigocky]

Iv got to say, iv been watching your videos for quite some time now, and i must get this book! Oh btw Where did you find that Beautifil rendition of the theme playing in the background?
