INTRODUCTION

A Word about Redundancy.

T his book, and the others in the series, are not necessarily meant to be read in order. You can if youd like, thats just fine. But you can read in any order you want.

They consist of chapters and reviews which are by and large stand-alone, so its perfectly fine, and I completely encourage just wandering back and forth, reading the bits that strike your fancy in whatever order you want.

The world of Doctor Who is a timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly place and often things overlap, so Ive built a degree of redundancy and repetition into the various chapters and articles, touching on the same information in different places to make your reading experience easier and more satisfying.

The downside is that after a while, you may be afflicted with flashes of dj vu the more you read. Dont sweat it, just relax and keep on going .

The Actual Introduction

F an Films? This Book ? Why bother?

Seriously, thats the question. Why would anyone want to write about fan films?

And why would you want to read it?

If youve bothered to get this far, then I figure Ive got at least half a shot at convincing you.

Lets start here: Im a Doctor Who fan. I suspect that you are too. For me, it was walking through the TV lounge of the Student Union building, and glimpsing some program about two very different starships, phased into each other, and a tall curly haired man in an impossibly long scarf who was trying to sort it out. I was hooked. I loved the show. I loved its quirkiness and charm, its wit and characterization, the intricacy of the stories, the room given to supporting characters to grow, the originality of the production design, its sprawling stories.

Fast forward a few years. At a Doctor Who fan club I ended up watching the Wrath of Eukor . This was a full episode length production, shot on 16 millimeter film, with amazing production values and talented actors, featuring a female Doctor.
