Resumen del Editor
Premiering the day after the JFK assassination, Doctor Who humbly launched one of the entertainment world's first super-brands. We begin with a look at TV programming of the day and the original pitch documents before delving into the Daleks, which almost didn't make the cut but inspired many monsters to follow.
After three years, First Doctor William Hartnell left, prompting the BBC to recast their hit rather than end it, giving us the first "regeneration" and making TV history. We follow the succession of Doctors - including Third Doctor Jon Pertwee, exiled to Earth and targeted by the Master - and see how the program reflected the feminism of the 1970s while gaining mainstream popularity with Fourth Doctor Tom Baker…until declining support from the BBC eventually led to cancelation. Fan outcry saved the series, only for it to suffer a repeat cancelation. Yet many continued to enjoy the "Whoniverse" in syndication, novels, audio dramas, and Doctor Who magazine.
Paul McGann impressed many as the Eighth Doctor in a 1996 TV movie, but it failed to reignite the series. A new age dawned in 2005 with Ninth Doctor Christopher Eccleston and a serious special effects budget before Tenth Doctor David Tennant helped rocket the series to international popularity and a new era of spinoffs. With Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith, the show became a bona fide success in America. For the program's fiftieth anniversary, Peter Capaldi became the Twelfth Doctor, ushering in yet another era for our unstoppable Time Lord.
Featuring discussions of concepts and characters, with insights from producers, writers, and actors from across the years, here is a rich, behind-the-camera investigation into the dazzling multiverse of Doctor Who.

Historia
Nicolas Cage is many things, but love him, or laugh at him, there's no denying two things: You've seen one of his many films, and you certainly know his name. But who is he, really, and why has his career endured for over 40 years, with more than a hundred films, and birthed a million memes? Age of Cage is a smart, beguiling book about the films of Nicolas Cage and the actor himself, as well as a sharp-eyed examination of the changes that have taken place in Hollywood over the course of his career.

From the New York Times best-selling author Marc Eliot comes the definitive biography of one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful actors, producers, and directors in the history of American motion pictures. Marc Eliot examines the ever-exciting, often tumultuous arc of Eastwood's life and career, from his days as a disaffected college dropout, to his rise to fame as the archetypal loner, to his acceptance into the pantheon of the Academy as a multiple Oscar Award winner.

Historia
Much has been written about the storied New Hollywood of the 1970s, but while Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Francis Ford Coppola were making their first classic movies, a parallel universe of directors gave birth to the modern horror film - aggressive, raw, and utterly original. Based on unprecedented access to the genre's major players, New York Times critic Jason Zinoman's Shock Value delivers the first definitive account of horror's golden age.

Through roles in cherished films such as Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, Aladdin and Hook, he became the genial face of family comedy. His childlike enthusiasm was infectious, sweeping viewers away. Allied to his lightning-quick improvisation and ability to riff lewdly off any cue thrown at him, Robin was that rare thing - a true comic genius who appealed to adults and children equally. He could also play it straight, and empathetic depth came to him naturally.

Mary Tyler Moore made her name as Dick Van Dyke's wife on the eponymous show; she was a cute, unassuming housewife that audiences loved. But when screenwriters James Brooks and Allan Burnes dreamed up an edgy show about a divorced woman with a career, network executives replied: "Americans won't watch television about New York City, divorcées, men with mustaches, or Jews." But Moore and her team were committed, and when the show finally aired, in spite of tepid reviews, fans loved it.

This close look at Wonder Woman's history portrays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Superman with a golden lasso and bullet-deflecting bracelets. The original Wonder Woman was ahead of her time, advocating female superiority and the benefits of matriarchy in the 1940s. At the same time, her creator filled the comics with titillating bondage imagery, and Wonder Woman was tied up as often as she saved the world.

Comedians Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld never thought anyone would watch their silly little sitcom about a New York comedian sitting around talking to his friends. NBC executives didn't think anyone would watch either, but they bought it anyway, hiding it away in the TV dead zone of summer. But against all odds, viewers began to watch, first a few and then many, until nine years later nearly 40 million Americans were tuning in weekly.

Compiled by a veteran writer of the comic series, this collection of essays explores Batman’s motivations and actions, as well as those of his foes. Batman is a creature of the night, more about vengeance than justice, more plagued by doubts than full of self-assurance, and more darkness than light. He has no superpowers, just skill, drive, and a really well-made suit.

A wonderful, comprehensive history for any Whovian
This book is a great and thorough introduction to the development, history, story lines and the cast/crew behind the show. I thought I knew a lot about the show. By the end of the second chapter I knew I was going to learn much more. And I did! This book has tons of small stories and "sidebars" about various aspects of the show's plot lines, characters, and focused on the major figures of the show with shocking honesty. Quotes from the show's producers and actors provide the book with a wonderful, unquestionable authenticity. Does the book cover every story about the show? No, but what single novel could? What is perhaps most wonderful about this book is that it is 100% up-to-date at the time I read it (November 2013). I know that details that had come out just this year were included in the history of the whole show, showing deliberate links between the modern and classic versions. Kistler is an adequate narrator. As the writer he did a great job gathering all the information, interviews, quotes and details together into a very easy to listen narrative that added significantly to my knowledge and appreciation of one of my favorite TV shows of all time. A must read for any fan of the show who'd like to learn more about the show and the decisions that made it what it was and is.

Very Enlightening
This was actually my first audible book! I got this only a couple years after first getting into Doctor Who and I felt it really allowed me to catch up on all that I missed during the history of the first 11 doctors. Highly recommended!

A great overview strong on Classic Who
If you're relatively new to the franchise A History will give you a great overview of both the on-screen and behind-the-scenes story of Classic Who. If you're a fan of Classic Who, this book may have a lot of new trivia about dismissed creative ideas, personality conflicts, reversals, etc. of great interest to you. I found it to be weakest in terms of New Who, with the basic story of the production already widely distributed through official channels and the juicier, more detailed gossip still kept tightly under wraps. There was almost nothing about New Who that was new to me, making this a good record for the future but a better take on Classic Who for now.

Horrible narrator
The content is fine but it was a huge mistake having the author narrate. He almost sounds like a computer. Probably better to read it instead.

This was a great listen, as I am someone more familiar with the modern Doctors but want to know more about the history of the character too. Very easy to follow and fun to listen to!
Who was your favorite character and why?
The Doctor of course!
What about Alan Kistler’s performance did you like?
Alan Kistler's performance is very good...well done!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I was eager to "turn the page" so to speak on this, learning more and more about the older Doctors while eagerly awaiting the behind-the-scenes stories regarding the current series.
Any additional comments?
I look forward to re-listening to this, as listening to this book initially got me interested in watching classic Dr. Who on DVD, so now I want to go back and listen all over again. Like I'm in some sort of timey-whimey of my own! This book is highly recommended!

It's bigger on the inside
This book is s great resource for both old and new whovian fans. Gaining back to the inception of the show the early days, the highlight times of Tom Baker the years in the wilderness to the new series debut. Some of it old news but new insights abound.

Not a Good Reference, a Good Springboard
This is not an encyclopedia of all Doctor Who incarnations, companions and villains. It is a brief history of the Doctor both on-screen and off-screen from the beginning, focusing especially on the politics behind the scenes.
There is an entire chapter on the Daleks, and an emphasis on Gallifrey. As a viewer of the modern series with no knowledge of the classic Doctors, this was a brilliant journey through time (pun intended) which helped me appreciate the show even more.

Really well researched 
The author really did an excellent job of researching a tremendous amount of detail about the history of of the series and what was going on behind-the-scenes. It was interesting to me because I have seen all of the classic Doctor Who. There was so much detail, sometimes it got a little tedious. This book is really geared for the mega mega fan. I mean I’m definitely a fan, but I don’t have the kind of detailed exploration of all of the audio adventures and supplemental materials that I think people must have that would really really enjoy this book. And I can see how a mega fan would absolutely love this book. I liked it and I’m glad to listened to it.

Clumsy presentation
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Accuracy. Along about the third time I heard 'Quatermass' incorrectly pronounced as 'Quartermass,' I had no confidence in the research of the product. Given such an error on a formative genre trilogy, it bodes ill for the material to come.
What could Alan Kistler have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Recheck and correct errors.
