Britton's book highlights the important role played by design throughout the various incarnations of Doctor Who, providing both a fresh perspective on the long-running series and a robust model for future research into this neglected area of media studies. -- Richard Hewett, University of Salford, UK Whether you’re a Doctor Who fan or a design student – perhaps even an attentive student of Doctor Who or a passionate design fan – Design for Doctor Who is for you. Expertly and innovatively bringing together design studies and ‘Doctor Who studies’, Piers Britton restores the importance of the visual to understanding this long-running TV show. -- Professor Matt Hills, University of Huddersfield, UK
