Description: This in-depth book examines the careers of all of the actors who have played Doctor Who, up to and including the latest incarnation, Matt Smith. Eleven actors have played the famous Time Lord, starting with William Hartnell, and it has been a career landmark for all of them. Indeed, no other role in television history is as iconic, demanding, or as anticipated by its legion of fans as that of the famous time traveller with two hearts. All the bizarre facts of Doctor Who are explained as the lives and careers of each Doctor ( including the latest - and youngest- incarnation, Matt Smith) are put under the spotlight and given credit they so richly deserve. Find out: Who was a bouncer for the Rolling Stones. Who was nearly blown up in the Second World War aboard the HMS Hood. Who played a transvestite barmaid before becoming a Dr Who heart-throb?
