"This is a book everyone can enjoy- not just Who fans, but all
those curious about how and why science fiction does- and does not-
work on television."- William Manus, Book Scope, September 2006
"The appeal of Through Time lies not in thoughtful analysis or
insight, but in sheer joy: it's funny, witty, and idiosyncratic,
focused on story arcs and behind-the-scene personalities, all
filtered through the mind of an insider."--Science Fiction Research
