The Making of Doctor Who was a non-fiction work by Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke. The first edition, published by Piccolo Books in 1972, was principally written by Hulke. A second edition, rewritten by Dicks in 1976, was published by Target Books. It stands as the first professionally published non-fiction book about the series, predating similar works by Peter Haining and Jean-Marc Lofficier by many years.The first edition featured The Trial of Doctor Who, a narrative feature which notably gave new insights on the Time Lords and UNIT and summarized every television story from An Unearthly Child to The Sea Devils.What happened when Doctor Who was put on trial by the Time Lords? Why did he agree to help UNIT? This fascinating book tells you everything about the Doctor and his adventures, the points in Space and Time he has visited, the aliens and monsters he has defeated. One of the most famous and longest running BBC serials of all time, Doctor Who depends for its success on the enthusiasm of everyone working on the show. Come inside the TV studio and meet them, learn how the Daleks and the Cybermen came into being and how the special effects work. What happens in Doctor Who often seems impossible. But is it? Could it all be true?
