Leap of Eighth: The Unofficial and Unauthorised History of the Eighth Doctor

‘You held back death.’

In 1996 an American-made Doctor Who television film burst on the scene, starring the charismatic English actor Paul McGann as the Doctor, and fandom embraced him.
While there was at the time no more of Paul’s performance on screen, his Doctor transitioned to other media with ease: comics, books and finally audio, bringing a wealth of stories, adventures, companions and more to Doctor Who lore.

This book chronicles the creation and development of those media. Through interviews with more than fifty of the creators, and McGann himself, Reecy Pontiff picks a path through the so-called ‘Wilderness Years’, to emerge from the other side with literally hundreds of new adventures and stories to enjoy, all featuring the eighth Doctor.

It truly was … A Leap of Eighth!
