Compared with the last two books I read about Doctor Who, I felt this volume was much less superficial than Kim Newman's, and made fewer grandiose promises but delivered on more of them than John Chapman's. My one regret is that, following leads from Newman and Chapman, I bought both the DVD of The Web Planet and the CD of The Celestial Toymaker while in London, only to discover that Wood and Miles have a very low opinion of both stories.Grr, when I think what else I could have got... I am about half a dozen stories behind in my Doctor Who reviews anyway, so it will be a little while before I publish my own views here.
BTW, my new userpic, for Doctor Who books, was drawn for me yesterday as a "welcome home" present by young F, aged seven and a half. I may not wander to quite such exotic places as the Doctor, but I do travel quite a bit.
