description: Newly discovered entries and drawings in William Shakespeares journals reveal for the first time the astounding relationship between the great Bard and the Doctor.Since his first adventure in 1963 the Doctor has enjoyed many encounters with William Shakespeare. Now BBC Books has rediscovered notebooks long thought lost compiled by the Bard in which he divulges the influential role the Doctor played in his creative life. Here are the original notes for Hamlet including a very different appearance by the ghost; early versions of great lines (To reverse or not to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow); the true story of how the faeries of A Midsummer Nights Dream were first imagined; stage directions for plays adjusted to remove references to a mysterious blue box; and much much more.
