I love fairy tales, and I love Doctor Who, so this book was absolutely perfect. It's also a wonderful combination of retold familiar tales and original stories that are in the vein of fairy tales.

I found it fun that in most stories, I could clearly identify which Doctor was appearing in that story. I also appreciated that he is often not the main character.

It was so much fun to read that it was over far too quickly.

Violence, drugs, suicide. Welcome to the world of a prison doctor
The book is a real life account of a prison doctor who is treating patients in UK prisons. It tells of the violence, drugs and heart ache of the inmates and how she helps and copes with the day to day of prison life. Parts of it are truly disturbing but other parts made me smile. It is very moving and yet very readable

Like most other Brits, I've watched at least one episode of Doctor Who.

I still watch the (current Doctor) Jodie Whittaker episodes.

Next to the Daleks and The Master, I think the Cybermen are (perhaps) the Doctors most-famous enemies.

However, I've never really found them all that scary: I think because the fact that they are fully encased in their armour (unlike the Star Trek counterparts of the Borg) makes them seem less relevant, less of a body-horror than said Borg.

With all that said, I'd heard recently that this was one of the best Doctor Who Cybermen stories, and so thought I would give it a listen: Set on the world of Mondas, this story deals with the ascension of the Cybermen (well, one ascension anyway: they've had more ascensions than I've had hot dinners!), set during Peter Davison's tenure as The Doctor.

It's not a bad listen, with Davison reprising his role and with the story carefully laying out it's stall (and trying to show the horrors of becoming a Cyberman) through having an audience surrogate of a family on Mondas that The Doctor and his travelling companion Nyssa encounter, and try to help.

But is time a constant? Are some things destined to be? …

Listen and find out!

Watched last night was dreading this one on blu ray it's perfect the best is the planet itself the sets look so alien probably the most alien that any planet the doctor has visited and the all the guest cat also look like proper alien too so the only cast that look human are the doctor and his companions
And then there's the zarbi themselves who are basically giant ants u have to feel for the actors who are basically wearing those costumes there are times they almost bring down the set cause they can't see where they are going
Anyway the the next one is way better classic who shame there's only 2 episodes

Jodie Whittaker is good as the Doctor and is playing her/him/it well but we miss the good script writers because having grown up with Doctor Who and my children watching it, where are the nail biting moments and hiding behind the sofa, it has all become rather PC and telling stories with morals so bring back the suspense and monsters. I also miss the story line running through the whole series and realising there was one until the clues were revealed.
