review 1: In this series of e-shorts released monthly in 2013 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary they certainly saved the best for last though Neil Gaiman does have the advantage of having written two scripts for the Eleventh Doctor so knows his Doctor well and contributed to the canon.This...

review 1: The first Doctor and Susan face up against a band of Soul Pirates. Unfortunately in his last encounter he lost his hand. This short story started the 11 short stories for 11 Doctors. I've not read any of this authors prior stuff, but the story was fairly simple. I did like a coup...

review 1: I have a bit of a funny relationship with Neil Gaiman. I cannot decide if I am madly in love with him and his work or if I don't like it at all. I sway from mindset to mindset every time I read a piece of his work. But luckily I loved Nothing O'Clock from start to finish! I have ...

review 1: The best of the three I've read so far. Though Sedgwick's Third Doctor dialogue sometimes feels more fitting for the First Doctor (particularly the over-use of "my dear"), the story itself is very much in the spirit of the Letts era. If the rushed bits (which is what's keeping me...

review 1: This was an interesting one, as the Doctor was barely there – he was conducting an investigation and blowing stuff up, all the usual Doctory fare, but instead of watching his exploits, we focused on the ordinary people caught up in the adventure. It reminded me of "Love & Monster...

review 1: It really shouldn't surprise me that I enjoyed this one more than Big Hand for the Doctor as I adore Michael Scott. I just thought this was a tighter story that stayed closer to character than the first short story did. I haven't watched very much of the early Doctor Who stuff ...

review 1: I'll agree with another reviewer on here that it's difficult to write a DW story in short form because often you need space to develop entire species and planets. But this story is simply clever: the Doctor and Martha land on basically a storybook planet. I won't go into details ...
