The Doctor Who Companion‘s Peter Shaw has written a book! And somehow, it’s going to be published! Honestly, we warned Candy Jar Books against it, but they’re going ahead and printing The Timey Wimey Book of Doctor Who, billed as “an unbelievable, unofficial, unreliable, unfinished, and almost unreadable guide to” everyone’s favourite sci-fi show.

This has been in the works for quite some time, and is now available to pre-order. All jokes aside, we’re sure all DWC readers will want a copy — Peter is a hilarious, clever, and kind chap who I’m very pleased to call a friend. He calls me other things. I’ve had a brief look at his manuscript and it’s everything you could wish for; yes, it’s billed as a comedy book, but you still learn an awful lot — exactly as you’d expect from someone as talented as Peter.

Here’s the blurb, in case you need more convincing:

Ever wondered why the Doctor’s name is actually Steve Davis, how to defeat a Sontaran with a stiletto heel, or why Peter Davison wrote the theme music for a family of kitchen utensils? Look no further!

Written by Peter Shaw (and Mighty Logar), The Timey Wimey Book of Doctor Who is an unbelievable, unofficial, unreliable, and almost unreadable deep dive into six decades of Doctor Who history.

Packed with absurd trivia, hilarious essays, and unhinged fan memories – from being adopted for a night by the Watling family to ranking the absolute worst Target book covers – it’s the ultimate comedy companion for anyone who knows their TARDIS from their elbow.

Grab your copy today before it’s erased from the Matrix!
