Doctor Who: Earthworld
Doctor Who: Earthworld: 50th Anniversary Edition | Jacqueline Rayner
8 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Anji has just had the worst week of her life. She should be back at her desk, not travelling through time and space in a police box. The Eighth Doctor is supposed to be taking her home, so why are there dinosaurs outside? The Doctor doesnt seem to know either, or else he surely would have mentioned the homicidal princesses, teen terrorists and mad robots? One thing is certain: Anji is never going to complain about Monday mornings in the office again. An adventure featuring the Eighth Doctor as played by Paul McGann and his companions Fitz and Anji

#novemberbynumbers #8 my second favourite doctor after Troughton. Paul McGann was the best bit about the film, and I loved his reprise in the Night of the Doctor. @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck

Laura317 Eight Doctor love! He's great. 7y
laurieluna @Laura317 definitely one most forgotten about. I need to listen to some of the audios he's done. Also should have included my figure of him! It's my favourite bit of doctor who merch. 7y
rabbitprincess He is great in audio! Also where did you get your action figure of him? 7y

This was my view one year ago today. Between the pool, the mojitos, and all the reading I got done (including the excellent book I have tagged in this post), it was probably my favourite vacation ever.

readordierachel Sounds like a good time 👍 7y

Watching The Night Of and I think "Amara Karan would be great as Anji Kapoor" and wouldn't you know it, she was already on Doctor Who (she played Rita in The God Complex).

Blair_Reads It could be like Martha. She was in an episode before becoming a companion :)) 8y
Anton @Blair_Reads Excellent point! All the way back to Romana, the show has a history of reusing actors (they've even done it twice with Doctors). So it could happen! 8y

I had so much fun with this book! The writing is smart and funny, and having a new companion in Anji lets the reader see the Eighth Doctor with fresh eyes. This book starts a new story arc and there's little connection to the forty-odd preceding books (outside of a subplot involving the Doctor's other companion, Fitz), so it isn't bogged down with continuity. A great Who novel, I'll definitely be reading more books in the series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Where‘s Fitz? Could you go and fetch him, please? It took me over a hundred years to find him – I‘d rather he wasn‘t killed now I‘m just getting to know him again."

"There‘s something definitely wrong," said Anji. "He hasn‘t looked at my cleavage once. You don‘t think he‘s a replicant, do you?"

Anton @tnorris Anji is pretty great. 8y

Really liking the companions in this book, especially Fitz. By EarthWorld, he's already been adventuring with the Doctor for a while so he clearly knows what to expect with giant robots.

Happy Dr Whosday!

I decided to start a new Who book on vacation. I usually lean towards the New Adventures featuring the Seventh Doctor (or Past Doctor books starring one of the first six), but this time I decided to read my very first Eighth Doctor novel. Since there are so many to choose from, I went with BBC's pick to reissue for the 50th anniversary, EarthWorld. Updates to follow!

Sue I should read more of the new adventures, they are always so much fun. 8y
Anton @Sue After this book, I think I'm going to have to read more of the Eighth Doctor Adventures! 8y
