Twitter who volume 1 pdf free download

A journey of 100 serials begins with a single Tweet Okay than 100 Whofolk you are hereby invited to the first chapter of an epic quest as one lone fan traverses the vast realm of Classic Who through fresh eyes a fan bornwait for itafter 1989 The journey ahead is long and intricate and she wields one tool to document it Twitter Bursting from the pages of Outside In Hannah J Rothman returns to the beginning as she Tweets and commentates her way through the complete William Hartnell era of Doctor Who Grab your lapels and get your sonics ready Twitter Who Volume 1 The First DoctorThe return of Doctor Who to television screens in 2005 and its ongoing success not only introduced a new generation of fans to the new series but also to the show as it once was As a result the last few years have seen a growing number of new perspectives brought to a series that went from much loved to ridiculed and back again Few though have been as unique as Hannah J Rothman s Twitter Who as demonstrated by its first volume which appropriately covers the first Doctor s era. Twitter Who Volume 1full As the book s title may suggest Rothman s perspective on the first Doctor era comes through the use of the social media force known as Twitter Across much of 2010 Rothman tweeted her thoughts as she watched or due to the short sighted junking of much of the BBC archives in the 1970s listened to stories from across this era of the show 140 characters at a time The book collects together her Twitter commentaries of the various stories from this era making them an almost textual equivalent of a fan commentary on the stories and that is a big part of its appeal Even if like myself you re neither a fan or user of Twitter what Rothman does is nevertheless intriguing Rothman s comments are often humorous as she catches onto formulaic plots which allows her to predict often than not exactly what s going to happen next or as is the case of a line of dialogue in The Crusade about a never ending story has an apparently random thought about needing to see the film of the same name properly at some point What the book is great at doing is showing what it s like to experience these stories often for the first time Yet there s to Twitter Who than that though Rothman s retrospectives on various companions and indeed the first Doctor himself are amongst the best parts of the book and perhaps the most serious as well In these retrospectives she often try to make sense of the sometimes contradictory nature of the characters such as Susan for example while elsewhere she makes a convincing case for why Vicki is perhaps of what Susan what was meant to be in the first place Perhaps the best retrospectives are those given to Ian and Barbara following their exit at the end of The Chase or the one given to One himself which ends with a sentence that speaks volumes about the mark that both him and the man who played him left upon a show that s celebrating its fifteenth birthday Twitter Who Volume One definitely isn t your typical piece of Doctor Who related non fiction Its collection of Twitter commentaries from a young fan brings a new perspective to the stories while the character retrospectives give often thoughtful looks at characters served both well and ill by the series If her Twitter commentary on The Macra Terror in last year s Outside In is anything to go by readers will also be in for a treat when Rothman brings us volume two and I for one can t wait to read it. Twitter who volume 1 book summary Note I was provided a free copy of this book in return for my honest open review of this book 1490313974 Another Why didn t I think of that Doctor Who book but in this case I absolutely loved it This is not summarize every story in only 140 characters Rather each story is reacted to in a series of 140 character posts that together form a single blog post So in effect it s like reading a transcript of a live tweeting event The book is fun witty and full of squeee but that s a good thing Occasionally I had trouble deciphering some of the slang and abbreviations but I still really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it. Twitter Who Volume 1ds The author Hannah J Rothman was both after the original series left our screens in 1989 liked New Who and then started watching Classic Who and loved it As a Classic Who fan I just think that s so cool And it flies in the face of conventional wisdom that New Who fans can t watch the original series or that they won t enjoy it Hah Hannah s reviews are enthusiastic bright funny and darn it but I now really want to re watch all of my William Hartnell the First Doctor DVDs. Twitter who volume 1 book pdf I had just a couple of quick comments a dictionary in the back of slang and Twitter terms would have helped It took me a while to get used to the author s use of One to refer to The First Doctor but considering this book was originally a Twitter account feed it makes sense 3 characters verses 16 is quite a savings And yes I did note the dates of the original blog posts so I realise that the DVDs with animated reconstructions probably weren t available in 2010 but it bothered me some that rather than reviewing the DVDs for episodes such as The Reign of Terror and The Tenth Planet which were released with the missing episode s reconstructed completely with animation and the original soundtrack the author relied on telesnap reconstructions instead On the other hand though I ve read several different summaries and reviews of missing stories it was fun to read such a fresh amusing and at times deep reaction to stories that I haven t seen because they don t exist and aren t on DVD I mean the comments in Twitter Who just really give an idea of what the episodes were like even the ones that aren t available on DVD 1490313974
