BFI Library

The class field trip to the BFI library was immensely helpful in discovering secondary critcal and academic research. The books I found were:

- BFI TV Classics, Doctor Who
- Kim Newman

- Inside The Tardis. The World of Doctor Who
- James Chapman

- Back to the Vortex
- J. Shaun Lyon

- Science Fiction Audiences: Watching Doctor Who and Star Trek
- John Tulloch, Henry Jenkins

- Doctor Who, The Legend: 40 Years of Time Travel
- Justin Richards

Now I am looking into either buying or borrowing these books and will have to read them before too long. What I am hoping to gain from these is a knowledge of the history of the television programme and why the BBC thought that the time was right to produce a revival of it. Perhaps they saw the distinct lack of British SF on televsion or they thought they lacked a distinctive saturday prime-time family oreintated programme.
