Since returning to television screens in 2005, "Doctor Who" has seen a resurgence in academic study by scholars new and old. "Impossible Worlds, Impossible Things: Cultural Perspectives on Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures", an edited collection of papers given at 'Whoniversal' Appeal: An Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Conference on "Doctor Who" and All of its Spin-Offs, offers ten chapters on various cultural perspectives of both 'Classic' and 'New' "Doctor Who", but also on its spin-off series "Torchwood" and "The Sarah Jane Adventures", as well as a Foreword by noted Doctor Who archivist Andrew Pixley, an Afterword by acclaimed "Doctor Who" scholar Dr Matt Hills, and a detailed summary of the conference industrial panel featuring writer Robert Shearman and Big Finish writer, director, actor and Dalek operator Barnaby Edwards. Examining such diverse topics as the changing role of the Doctor as a masculine hero, subversive and class-based elements of the series, the use of Classical elements and themes, and the work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, this volume is geared toward academics and general readers alike.
