Watching Doctor Who 
Fan Reception and Evaluation

Watching Doctor Who explores fandom”s changing attitudes towards
Doctor Who. Why do fans love an episode one year but deride it a decade later? How do fans” values of
Doctor Who change over time? As a show with an over fifty-year history,
Doctor Who helps us understand the changing nature of notions of ”value” and ”quality” in popular television. The authors interrogate the way
Doctor Who fans and audiences re-interpret the value of particular episodes, Doctors, companions, and eras of
Who.
