Things She Thought While Falling by Chris Chibnall

A short prose prequel to The Woman Who Fell to Earth, just released to give people something to read during all this quarantining that's going on. I'd heard on Twitter that it was quite good, some of the best writing in this current era of Doctor Who, but... well, it has its moments, but it definitely peters out by the end -- the last two paragraphs are even rather poor, I think. But hey-ho, it's free and it'll only take up a couple of minutes of your time. But please don't let Chibnall ever write a whole Who novel -- it doesn't seem like he could sustain a reasonable quality of prose for that long.

On the other hand...


Doctor Who and the Time War by Russell T Davies

This leftover from the 50th anniversary -- rendered now as a never-was alternate bit of Who continuity -- is really, really good.


And finally...

Doctor Who: Revenge of the Nestene by Russell T Davies

A 10-minute audiobook sequel to Rose, performed by Jacob Dudman.
