AHistory: An Unauthorized History of the Doctor Who Universe (Third Edition)
Lance Parkin is a British author, best known for writing fiction and reference books for television series, in particular some of the most influential Doctor Who novels (Father Time, The Gallifrey Chronicles, etc.). He also worked on the Emmerdale television series as a production assistant.Lars Pearson is one of the foremost experts on Doctor Who in North America. He thanks God that the new series has silenced those who preferred to overlook the original show's imagination in favor of giggling over how the spaceships looked like dish soap bottles. He's also pleased that the new show has gotten his wife interested in Doctor Who. (Although her rabid interest in Doctor Who fanfic is slightly disturbing. It worries him when she asks under what conditions the TARDIS console pulsates.)
