Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion (Target Collection) | Jenny T Colgan
11 posts | 3 read
Discover the new Doctor Who classics. Earth is under attack by power-hungry aliens. This is no time for the Doctor to be out of action. When a British space probe is intercepted by a sinister alien vessel on the eve of Christmas, it marks the beginning of an audacious invasion of the Earth by the Sycorax horrifying marauders from beyond the stars. Within hours, a third of humanity stands on the brink of death with not a single shot fired. Our planet needs a champion but the Doctor is not fit for service. Hes just regenerated, delirious in a new body and a dressing gown. Forced into his battered shoes is his friend, Rose Tyler, a girl from a London council estate. Will she save the world from this nightmare before Christmas or see it destroyed?

This is the book that goes with the Doctor Who episode The Christmas Invasion. David Tennant's first episode and one of my favorites.

I've been in a rut, it's Christmas, and I've been rewatching Doctor Who since July (starting with An Unearthly Child.) I've read a couple of these new Who Target novelizations and they're usually fun with just enough extra detail to make it worth itvwhqh you've seen the episode a few times. Hopefully this is no exception

Chrissyreadit How do you feel about the current Dr? 2y

Thanks for the tag @EadieB

1. Honestly I've never read a Christmas themed book, but I'm participating in #WinterGames2020 that hopefully will change soon.

2. Does The Doctor count? 💕 The 10th Doctor is my favourite.

OH YES! An easy Pick for me. Colgan transfers RTD's story to print faithfully and enriches The Christmas Invasion with the Children in Need special set between "The Parting of the Ways" and this episode. And boy has technology changed: here we have dial-up internet in central London and computers with 512 MB of RAM ? This is well worth adding to your shelves.

Poor Mickey.

rabbitprincess @Swe_Eva That simile didn't appear in the show 😂 5y

OK this resolves what I thought was a plot hole in the TV episode: Mickey somehow being able to access UNIT servers!
But I am mainly sharing this quote to giggle over the computer having 512 MB of RAM 😂

Laura317 So THAT‘S what he did. 🤓 5y
rabbitprincess @Laura317 And now I have to watch the Slitheen episode again! 5y

Rewatching The Christmas Invasion before reading the novelization 😄
(and yes I am watching a Tennant episode with my Capaldi action figure 😂)
