Seventh doctor novelization

This novelization was nostalgic, whimisical and mildly entertaining. Bonnie's narration was good. A decent Doctor Who story- just not very deep.

Publisher's Summary:

An unabridged reading of this classic TV novelisation featuring the First Doctor, as played on TV by William Hartnell.

The Doctor is feeling confident: this time the TARDIS has landed on Earth, in England, in 1963. But when he and his companions Susan, Ian and Barbara venture outside, they are soon lost in a maze of ravines and menaced by gigantic insects. However, the insects are dying - every living thing is dying....

Meanwhile, in a cottage garden on a perfect summer's day, the man from the Ministry arrives to put a stop to the production of DN6, a pesticide with the power to destroy all life-forms. But the men who invented DN6 will stop at nothing - not even murder - in their desire to see DN6 succeed. Can the one-inch-tall Doctor foil their plans?

Members Reviews:

Slightly Above Average for Terrance Dicks.

If you've watched the First Doctor episodes then you know what you are getting. I don't think Terrance liked being stuck with having to write the books based on the TV episodes and it often shows. He rarely gives insight into what the characters are thinking and he adds nothing beyond what the TV script offered, which is truly a shame. I'd love to see what these books would be like if they were written by someone who realized they didn't have a "BBC budget" they had to stick to. Some other authors develop the characters more and provide new insights even if you've seen the TV episodes. This generally doesn't happen with Dicks. This is one of his earlier books so I found it more bearable - plus I love the first set of companions (Ian, Barbara and Susan) so that helped pull me through. It's a very easy and short read regardless. For those who haven't experienced the First Doctor or his companions. These two (Ian and Barbara) are often overlooked but I find them as some of the greats. They are some of the strongest characters written (both in the show and in the novels and audio CDs) and often do most of the work at getting themselves out of danger while also contending with an often scheming, arrogant and contentious Doctor. These are the companions who likely shape the Doctor he becomes in the future - not that you can see that in this book but it's worth giving them a look. Barbara is surprisingly overlooked at the first really strong female character prior to Sarah Jane Smith. She was extremely strong willed and capable and she stood up to the Doctor on many occasions - something that went away with later female companions.

Early environmental story for Doctor Who

As a general rule, people associate the era of the third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) with stories that make political comments about the real world. This book is based on a serial that was first broadcast in 1964 and looks at the possible dangers of insecticides.

The TARDIS arrives in 1964 and, due to an accident on landing, the ship and its crew are miniaturised. Much like the later "Land of the Giants" TV series, their adventures tend to centre on the threat of full-sized items to miniaturised people. As you can imagine, the insecticide DN6 becomes a major peril.

Running parallel with this story is one for the full-sized people. DN6 is under investigation, and its inventor will stop at nothing to prevent his own financial ruin if it is banned.

When mysterious ships target the Vancouver, Ace and the Doctor are pushed to the limit. Meanwhile, there's something nasty in the grain containers. And it's not very happy....

Members Reviews:

Weak Star Trek Parody

Good comedy will create humor through a character's natural response to a situation such as in the case of the Star Trek episode, "The Troubles with Tribbles." Bad comedy will have a character act unnaturally in an attempt to get cheap laughs.

And that's the reason that I had trouble enjoying this episode. The first two episodes attempted to be humorous by writing Ace as an idiot. These moments fall completely flat. Though, even with a character who would be believably stupid, a lot of these jokes wouldn't have been that funny.

The final two episodes do work a bit better and there are some impressive twists in the final episode, though the end feels a bit cheap. It also features Ingrid Oliver making a pre-Osgood appearance in the Whoniverse. Still, at its worst moments, the story comes off as a very daft Star Trek parody and the story's good moments make the story only passable.

Publisher's Summary:

Roanoke Island, 1590. The TARDIS materializes in the past, and the Doctor's companions, Professor Litefoot and Henry Gordon Jago, find themselves prisoners of the natives in the New World. But there's something strange here - stranger than even the colonists, led by Englishman John White.

What are the ghostly children? And who is the Old Man of Croaton? The travellers are about to discover the secret of the lost colony...and it may cost Jago's life.

Members Reviews:

Imaginative and Well-Researched

While the proceeding story, Voyage to Venus was a fun Victorian Science Fiction romp, Voyage to the New World is my favorite of the two Sixth Doctor and Jago and Litefoot adventures. Writer Matthew Sweet creates a story centering around the lost colony of Roanoke.

The result tale is a well-researched and well-written story that is filled with rich and evocative atmosphere and language. As he did with his first Jago and Litefoot tale, "The Man at the End of the Garden," Sweet shows incredible talent in creating a script that grips the imagination, while creating wonderfully charming fantasy.

Colin Baker, Trevor Baxter, and Christopher Benjamin all are solid in this story, and are bolstered by an equally strong guest cast. This is a very wonderful release that also sets up Series 5 of Jago and Litefoot.

Victorian Gentlemen Go to Venus

Overall: 7 Plot: 7 Acting: 8 Soundscape: 7 Replay: 7

Following the events of the Hourglass Killers at the end of Series 4 of Jago and Litefoot, the Sixth Doctor takes the Two Victorian gentelemen on a trip and they land on the planet Venus where they encounter a matriarchal society that's hiding a terrible secret.

The good news is that the adventure stands alone quite nicely. It's not brilliant or groundbreaking. It's female-dominated Venus and strange creatures plot could easily have come out of a 19th Century pulp. The story is well-told, but not impressive. The strength of the tale is the great Chemistry the leads enjoy which carries the story and makes for an entertaining hour of audio entertainment.

Things finally pick up!

And the Daleks show their true colors. Rather than just healing the humans, the Daleks have added an extra step to the healing process: Turning them into Daleks! Using genetic manipulations, humans are being turned into the enemy at the very DNA level. Plus, we see the return of some old characters from the previous storylines.

A good twist, I thought. We've seen humans turned into Daleks before, but this is so central to their human-ness that it's particularly horrifying. The overall quality of the recording of this series continues, and this episode finally brings the upswing in action we've been waiting for!

Solid Set-Up

Here the stories of the Demons, the wardens, and the Daleks come together as the Commander has to decide whether to trust Galanar and we get an idea of the Daleks' plan. Overall, the episode is well-executed, with another great performance by David Tennant, setting up the finale.

Members Reviews:

Good, but Weaker Series Overall

An action packed and emotional conclusion that has all our heroes risking all to get the information back to the Galactic Union. The story has superb action as well as some intriguing emotional elements. The series has a very open ended conclusion and I do have to admit that while I've enjoyed most of the series, I do fear this is a case where the whole is less than the sum of the parts.

Weak, weak ending

I can't...get over the fact that this episode basically ends with someone telling the Daleks that they have low self-esteem. I get that a downer ending is needed--they're the Daleks, they pretty much always win, unless you've got a Doctor on hand--but it was just such a stupid dig. I half expected them to go on and ask the Daleks if they had been bullied as a young species.
