- In February 2020 I got all my Doctor Who books out of the loft.... and filmed them all.
It took me a while to edit it (over a year) but here is that Doctor Who Book Collection Video!

At first I was sure I wouldn't watch a 30 minute videos, even if it's about my two favourite topics in the world: doctor who and books. I'm so happy I was wrong! Loved being "buried under books" with your collection :)
Glad to hear I managed to keep your interest. To be honest I’m often the same when I see a long video duration, especially a Collection one - so I tried to make the presentation style and editing as engaging as possible in the hope that it would keep people watching. 🙂
My book collection video is double the length 😭
Buried under books! 📚
Crikey, that's one awesome Doctor Who book collection! I bet you wish you had the space to have them all on display in one place. That would be a sight to behold!
One day.... one day. (Probably when the kids have moved out in 20 years time and we actually have spare bedrooms again 😄)
@Mal Vil Jan Slitheen - nah, I love my kids and wouldn’t trade them for all the Doctor Who merch in the world. 😄
@Mal Vil Jan Slitheen - I think you might want to retake those sex education lesson.
Prisoner of the Daleks is so good that i wish it was made into an Two Part Specials between the waters of Mars and The end of time.
I have a Theory that the reason we got so many Martha books is not only that increased their output due to the success of the Tennant Rose books but because Donna wasn't agreed on for series 4 till quite late as told in the writers tale.
Yeah that makes sense.
I'm hoping to be "buried under books" to this degree someday! I must admit I have only dipped my toe into expanded media from time to time over the years, but I'm now firmly committed to eventually getting through Big Finish and BBC Books. I'm curious about the Virgin New Adventures too, but that's on the back burner. The NuWho era has always appealed slightly less to me (outside of the show itself, which is usually brilliant), but your enthusiasm for that range of books makes me interested in that too! Not enough time for everything!
Time is indeed the problem. I get so little reading time these days that basically I’m fully expecting to have to get to retirement before I get a chance to read most of these 😄
@@CulturePhilter I read a few BBC EDAs in 2002 or so, but they were all from when the Doctor had lost his memory so I felt like I was missing a big chunk of the story or any context for the companions -- plus these books were so hard to find in the U.S. I didn't bother trying to keep up! As a collector, my white whale was the complete range of U.S. classic series DVDs, which I finally collected a couple years back. My next goal, which I only started this year, is to listen to the entire Big Finish Monthly Range... in order!
Your EDA collection is amazing!! I've only read about four since they're difficult to find in America but they're really good so far!
Thanks. I really need to track down the ones I’m still missing though.

This is such an awesome video-makes me want to grow my own collection.
Thank you 😄 the problem with having so many is storing them.
Watched this over the last few days, you’ve a class diverse collection!!! Looks like a mini library🙌🏼
Buried under books. I'm about half way through the Day of the Doctor novelisation and it's a good read.
I've also got the first 10 New series adventures, Clockwise Man to the Nightmare of Black Island ready to go on the shelf.
Some of those hard backs sound like really interesting reads too.
Thank you for such an informative video.
My pleasure. Thank you for watching until the end. 🙂
I’m still working my way through the EDAs myself, loved stuff like the eight doctors, body snatchers and war of the Daleks. After that I’ve read a few in random order like fall of yquatin and Gallifrey chronicles which I also love. I just love anything eighth Doctor, I’d say my working through his series slowed when I discovered big finish but still fascinating reading. Also loved a lot of the new series novels which were the first novels of who I got into and lead to me going back to try the EDA
Reading Gallifrey Chronicles before most of the rest of the EDA range? How was that? Not confusing?
@@CulturePhilter tbh it felt like a fairly self contained story.I think I was curious whether there was some kind of time war tie in at the time.
Buried under books!
Lovely video, i'm thinking of start reading Doctor Who books and your video was very inspiring
Buried under books
I’m reading Blood Heat right now and I have to say without spoiling anything it is an excellent read with twists and turns. There are references to earlier stories in the series but as someone who hasn’t read any other Virgin New Adventures they don’t impact on the story much.
Also I have to say I admire your collection and hope you get every book you want in the different ranges
Thanks. Would love to complete the Virgin New Adventures and the Eighth Doctor Adventures especially. Although some of thise NAs are quite pricy these days.
@@CulturePhilter I've got all of them luckily, even up to The Twilight of the Gods.
@@paulflint6254 nice. Did you get them on or near release or have you collected them more recently.?
@@CulturePhilter most during release, rest from amazon. I also have all 8th and bbc pda books too. The new series books ft 9 to 13th doctors also complete.
@@paulflint6254 - I have all the New Series Adventures but still catching up on the Virgin and EDA range.
if i had all those, id be buried under those books. need to get around to collecting! the torchwood ones seem interesting especially
Buried under books! But where are the SJAs?! I have three shelves but still young so plenty of time to build collection!
If I recall all the SJA books were novilisations of episodes. While I’ve got a couple of Novilisations of Doctor Who I’ve always been more interested in original stories.
Thanks for watching the whole video. 🙂
@@CulturePhilter Fair enough I suppose most of my books are standalone stories I have the complete reboot logo hardcover collection and some random books but quite a few targets...
@@DalekKhronos I’ve still only read one of the novilisations I do own which is the TV movie one. I like the added scenes it gave. I will check out more eventually. Keen to read the Day of the Doctor one at some point and I’m currently listening to the novilisation of Church on Ruby rd as research for a video.
I just bought my first collection of doctor who books based in season 3 and 4 and I think beyond ..waiting for it... Can't wait to dig in and read!! I've been in a reading slump since I been in college
Oh cool. Are they the Target mobilizations of episode or the original fiction ones?
Buried under books, and really enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching. 🙂
Buried in the books! 📚
Thanks for sticking with the video till the end. 🙂
I remember Martha in the Mirror being weird but good. I happen to be reading Only Human and adored the Rose and Day of the Doctor Novelisations.
It's nice to see your collection, I have so many books too
Buried under books 😁
Nice collection! It reminds me to try and collect more of the New Series books that I've not got round to getting yet 😃
You should. There’s some great Gems in there.
And thank you for watching until the end. 🙂
Idk whether you will answer this but can you respond with the best ways to find doctor books (especially vnas and edas)
I got most of my EDAs from charity shops but over a decade ago. And most of the VNAs actually came from a book shop in Dubai I found while I was on holiday back in 2006.
That’s both unlikely to be much help to you. I do still see the occasional one in charity shops but it’s rare. eBay is probably your best bet or conventions with dealer rooms but they likely won’t be as cheap.
Totally agree all fans should get AHISTORY if they want a good timeline and I would also recommend the About Time series.
Good sources are THE WHO SHOP in London and WHO ONE on The Isle Of Wight which does a good postal service
Buried under books!
Personally, I'm a huge fan of the Torchwood novels so it was great seeing those there at the end! It's a shame that Rex isn't in Big Finish due to the rights issues, but I think he is in Exodus Code? Or at least mentioned in it? Forgive me if I'm wrong there!!! Great vid as always!
Oh that’s cool if he is in Exodus Code. I haven’t read that one yet.
And thanks for watching until the end.
Talking of being buried under books, I am gutted to realise my EDA collection is three short.
Oh no. Still you’re doing better than me. I’ve got quite a few of the back half the set still to get.
I actually resumed reading them last week, picking up from where I left off about 5-10 years ago.
Buried under books! Loved this video, felt very nostalgic when you went through the Tennant books. I'm not as much of an avid reader as I was back then as a child, but I do still listen to the audiobooks from that era; especially the ones read by David Tennant! There are a few original audio books from that run too: Pest Control, Day of the Troll and Dead Air being the best of them imo, definitely worth checking out.
I've always wanted to check out the EDAs but I'm a little daunted, hoping that someone will be selling The Eight Doctors and Vampire Science at LFCC in the summer. Looking forward to your dvd collection in 2022 😆
Adult life has a way of getting in the way of reading time doesn’t it. I was lucky for a few years about a decade ago I had a job where they were ok with us reading books while we manned a stand in a shopping center waiting for customers (of which there would sometimes only be a handful of each day) got loads of books read in those few years. Sadly much less these days.
I have all those Audiobooks as well. They are indeed very good. 🙂
@@CulturePhilter it really does get in the way! I have so many books I've been meaning to start for years. That job sounds amazing! I wish I was allowed to do that at my job, would help the slow mid week shifts fly by!
Konrad H - recently I’ve been trying to get at least a chapter of a book read each night in bed before going to sleep but a lot of time I get distracted by browsing twitter instead. 🤷♂️
@@CulturePhilter Been there, done that! That's the curse of Twitter 😂
Really interesting video. Unlike most people in my generation it seems, I love reading books so this was very cool to see. Unfortunately my Doctor Who book collection is only the very few following:
1979 Reprint of Dalek Invasion of Earth
1982 Reprint of The Moonbase
Art of Destruction
The Resurrection Casket
Wishing Well
Wetworld
The Peacemaker
The Pirate Loop
Forever Autumn
The Scratchman
The Knight, the Fool, and the Dead
All Flesh is Grass
The 2006-2008 Tenth Doctor novels have never managed to keep my attention nor the two Target novels, however the TLV stuff was bloody fantastic.
Yes I really like the TLV books. Which are now part of my collection but obviously weren’t when I filmed this back in Feb 2020.
I only have one Missing Adventures book as well: Goth Opera, the very first one! I read it last year while on a family trip to the Lake District along with watching the Fury From The Deep DVD as well. I absolutely loved it, I even talked about it in an email to DWM which was printed! I have The Eight Doctors as well.
Do you plan on getting more?
@@CulturePhilter I did think about it but the problem is they tend to overdo it with the books. I mostly just focus on Big Finish.
Wow, want to get the EDA range now they look really nice on the shelf!
They do. Out of all the ranges they have my favourite covers overall.
Blood Heat is about an alternative timeline in which the third doctor failed in ‘and the Silurians’. so the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Bernice with the help of alternative timeline Brig, Liz and Jo (of like 5 pages because she doesn’t stay long) to put things mostly right.
Yeah the cover does give the impression that this story was a historical Silurian story, but it’s not.
Ah boo. Maybe one day someone will do a historical ancient Silurian story.
buried under books thank you so much for this its a very helpful guide
No worries 🙂
Divided Loyalties is very good.It has had The return of The Toymaker from The First Doctor story. Tegan finds herself being terrorised by him.Ir's really good.
I’m sad I didn’t see any Target novelizations. In the 70’s, 80’s it was the only way many of us could experience the series. Doctor Who wasn’t widely available as it is today.
@@SolitaryWolf I must admit I’ve never been massively drawn to novilisations. I’m more interested in original stories.
Saying that I’ve a rued a handful since I made this video. I read the TV movie novilisation and enjoyed the added context to scenes and the prequel chapter.
I collected and still have, most of the New Series novels. I stopped getting all the sets around Series 5 and bought the odd book there after. Prisoner of the Daleks is my favourite of those. Didn't realise there was that many Torchwood novels, I think I only bought the first 2 sets.
It’s a shame they seem to have abandoned the NSA format after the first batch of 13th Doctor books.
@@CulturePhilter Yeah it was a good line and it's be nice to have more 13th Doctor stuff. Also I noticed that your Day of the Doctor Target novel has the Target logo on the spine like the recent releases but on my copies of the first batch of New Series adaptations it's missing, so wonder if the logo was added in a later release
Great video Phil the favourite book which I own is annal 1974 also I have got my first big finish releases
Masterful limited edition which was £33 on ebay 10th doctor adventures volume 2 out of time 1 and 2 and 6th doctor last adventure the reason I got these was a treat because I had a seizure and I had one yesterday so I had to be rushed out of my school in an ambulance so yeh that wasnt great but your video has chired me up
Oh no. Hope you’re ok.
I am a bit better now thanks but it was quit scary when it happened
Lewis Frisby - I bet. Glad to hear you’re feeling better though.
Great video (watched in 3 parts)! I probably have a similar number of Doctor Who books - all the Targets, about half the VNAs (read up to Blood Heat), a fistful of MAs and around 20 EDAs/PDAs. I enjoyed The Infinity Doctors and Fear Itself - check them out! Most of mine are stored in the garage/man cave in *hopefully* air tight plastic tubs! So the family at least doesn't have to be buried under books lol!
We can dream of having the space to display our collections on lovely shelves instead of hidden away in boxes but will that day ever come? Who knows 😄
Divided loyalties is my favourite Doctor who book of all time
It’s so creepy and dark
Is beideful
One day I might actually get around to reading it 😄
I really wish that the 13th doctor had more new series adventure books.
Yeah shame they stopped the range after her first 3.
Buried under books! I tend to have mostly the old BBC Books so PDAs and EDAs, and some other random stuff. I only have a hand of new series adventures I was really interested in them at the time the Russell era was being broadcast.
Do you have the whole EDA set?
@@CulturePhilter Unfortunately not.
Buried under books 🤣 good video I definitely need to read day of the doctor as well as I haven't read it yet but got it signed by Steven moffat
Thanks for watching until the end. 🙂
I just finished reading Nuclear Time and am starting Prisoner of the Daleks.
Out of the books I've read, my favourite is probably The Blood Cell and my least favourite is Winner Takes All
Are you reading in any particular order or just whatever takes your fancy?
@@CulturePhilter Any order really.
Have you read the war Doctor book? Engines of war?
I have! I can’t remember much about it now but I think I liked it.
Hello can i ask where did you buy prisoner of tge dalek with this cover ?
The white cover one? It was part of that set that was released (at least here in the UK) to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Long out of print by now.
@@CulturePhilter the one with the doctor on the cover because I always see the cover with the red dalek and I cant find anywhere where I could buy it with doctor on the cover
@@multifandomstories5148 - oh, that’s the original hard back release. Also out of print but there was a lot so you could probably find one knocking about on eBay or Facebook marketplace eventually if you keep an eye out for it.
Awesome vid
Thank you
Omg you’re obsessed
Maybe just a little 😄
I want all these doctor books but they are hard to find
Yeah, some of the ones I’m still missing go for silly money now.
Quick note, where did you get that banksy like batman canvas and where can I buy one 😂
It was a Christmas present about a decade ago so I’m afraid I have no idea where they got it from. I think it might be a print of an Bansky so maybe just google Banksy Batman and you might find somewhere selling it 🤷♂️
I only have 1 book so far. 🤷♀️ But I have 15 magazines. Also have 4 annuals.
Every collection has to start somewhere. 🙂
@@CulturePhilter That's true 👍
@CulturePhilter And still collecting, of course. 😊
I want to start reading some doctor who novels . Can you advice me with some of the best modern era novels
Prisoner of the Daleks is meant to be good!
Who is you’re favourite Doctor?
11th is my favourite but I care about the story more than the doctor this time
ibrahem abbasi - well as I say in the video I really love the 10th Doctor book ‘The Pirate Loop’. And Dalek Generation is a good 11th Doctor Dalek story.
Thanks . Can I be a bit annoying and ask for some modern audiobooks also ?
I count the 8th doctor as modern

Do you think there ruined Dr who with this new woke crap. Touched by angel is brilliant and borrowed time paradox lost.
No, I do not think that.
@@CulturePhilter OK cus I've noticed lots of ppl moaning about it. I'm not keen on it I think they don't really need to use pronouns and what ppl are. I just hope this Dr is good..
@@carloszarzoso1724 I bet you use pronouns while speaking every single day.
Everybody does and always have.
“Where John?” “Oh he went down the shops” second word of that reply is a pronoun.
@@CulturePhilter? No like when Donna noble son Jamie uses the name rose but didn't want to use he of she. I don't understand it how are we ment to know if someone is a they them, he her, she he, she her. If you get it wrong that person gets upset. That's what I ment.
@@carloszarzoso1724 - it’s Donna’s daughter, Rose. There is no need to deadname her. And you know she uses ‘She’ pronouns because the episode tells you that. Once you know it’s not that difficult to use them.
When people make genuine mistakes, as indeed Rose’s gran does in the first special, or people genuinely don’t know people usually don’t get angry but they do of course correct. So that the person can learn and get it right next time. People make mistakes with no ill intent. That’s ok.
What isn’t ok is if you do it deliberately, if you deliberately dead-name or deliberately mis-gender when you know what they identify as.

That was interesting, I have some of those books, most of the new series Adventures but i’m going for The novelisations and some of the PDAs to see the difference between styles
Glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with expanding your own collection and thanks for watching till the end. 😄
