Synopsis

If I were a Dalek
And a big Dalek too
I shouldn’t much care
What happened to you...

As they get older, even Time Lords sometimes struggle to understand the universe around them. In this delightful collection of poems – the first volume of Doctor Who verse ever published – there are moments of insight, wit and reassurance for those aging inhabitants of Gallifrey, all of which will sound hilariously familiar.

Now We Are Six Hundred is a charming, funny and whimsical collection of poems that celebrate the joys and pitfalls of getting older. Much, much older. Time-Lord older. And sometimes, in space.

TARDIS Guide NOTE: This anthology features dozens of companions and monsters, but we have chosen not to add them all here, or to split out individual poems, because of their short nature. This may change in the future!
