pickI really enjoyed this novelization based on the rehearsal scripts but which borrows from the TV adaptation too. James Goss integrates some of Adams‘s stage directions to make it sound more Adamsy (e.g. saying that a character gets knocked out and “goes down like a sack of turnips”). Pacy and weird and silly and fun. Photo from Den of Geek: https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/city-of-death-at-40-revisiting-doctor-who-s-most-wa...

No trip to Toronto is complete without a visit to BMV. All books on my to-read list!

Although there's plenty of evidence to suggest the Doctor and Romana II were more than just traveling companions (a lot of their stories involve going on holiday together), in canon they were not a couple. But the actors that played them, Tom Baker and Lalla Ward, actually did get married. The marriage lasted less than 18 months.
I'm reading this great book, but I can't remember what it's called. I just remember it's a recent little white hardcover written by an American surgeon of Indian ancestry, where he meditates on death and the American medical establishment. Oh, and it was a #1 New York Times bestseller. Can you help me find it?
City Of Death is probably the greatest Doctor Who story of all time, so novelizing it is sort of blasphemy. But given its absence from the novelization line, after Shada got the book treatment it just made sense to do this one too. I've heard author James Goss adapted the original scripts vs what was shot (I'm sure Tom Baker loved to improvise), so maybe it's different enough to be worth reading. But you can't improve on perfection.
pickCan't really beat a good Fourth Doctor story. Particularly when it's one that's base in a Douglas Adams penned storyline from the original Who.
