My brother gave me this book for Christmas, and I read it, then he borrowed it and read it, and now my mother is in the process of reading it. It's kind of like a behind-the-scenes DVD special feature, except really long, really detailed, and all about writing. Oh, and in book form. Unlike a lot of behind-the-scenes books, which might be filled with a little bit of interesting information padded with lots of random stuff that's either common knowledge or pointless to know, there is not a single page in this book that is not packed with interesting information. Well... no, I take it back. The Foreword is pointless. Phillip Pullman? Who cares about Phillip Pullman? Especially in a Doctor Who context.

If you're at all interested in writing as a career, even if you're not leaning towards television writing, I really really suggest you read this book. It would help to also know/have watched/be a fan of Doctor Who, as that's the context of all his writing talk, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's all completely accessible to anyone interested, no matter how little they may know about the show.
