Analysing Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor Who as a regendered, inclusive brand, this book features original interviews with cast/crew. It offers in-depth analysis of recent episodes and examines fans’ reactions to the era, exploring how the experience economy displaced Who’s public-service potential until lockdown restored it.
