Great story! I also literally LOLd at the little intro story in the first part of the collection.

We've come to Durham for a few days' break, which means that the country has had a typical month's-worth of rain in one day! 🌧️☔ Expecting such weather as our usual lot, at least there's lots of indoor things to do.
Books will be bought on this trip, starting with these two that I got from the supermarket charity table ½ mile from my front door when we stopped for takeaway coffee for the journey 🤦♂️
Haven't been reading this weekend. I finally finished these two pieces that I'd promised to the two tagged friends a year and a half ago.
Nerds of the world, unite!

These collected essays from Sandifer‘s Doctor Who blog have each series/season of the show deconstructed with critical reflections of the social & political climate at the time of release on both a personal & wider level. This isn‘t always as dry as it sounds but I did skip a few filler essays. This volume is number 4 but the 2nd I‘ve read (I wasn‘t born during Hartnell/Troughton years so skipped those books). I watch the show as I read the essays
80/150 I love Doctor Who, and I've enjoyed many of his written adventures, but this isn't one of them. Slow and tedious, I thought the author was building atmosphere, but then nothing much happened. The Cybermen never really come off as a scary threat, lumbering along like slow zombies, ultimately defeated by some last second techno babble on the Doctor's part. Also, I felt the story suffered because the Doctor was without a companion. ⬇️
This installment features David Tennant in a pre-Doctor role, adding a little bit of extra fun to what are very grave proceedings indeed. The stinger line at the very end was perfect, and overall I liked the pacing and was intrigued by what the Daleks are up to. Looking forward to reading on!
I‘m not sure about the monsters of the week but the writing was so spot on that I could hear the characters in my head ... the Doctor & Jo Grant … even though the narrator was nothing close to them. Good narration, good writing, fun story in multiple times! I love the Master and the spin the author gives to him was something I‘ve wanted to see again. The Master coulda been good. I‘ll listen to this again!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
For any Doctor Who fan wanting to know more about the TARDIS, this is it. A memoir told from the point of view of the TARDIS herself, chronicling her adventures with the Doctor, from when he stole her up to adventures with the 15th Doctor.
