2.0 out of 5 stars
Not up to its reputation,
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker (Doctor Who Library) (Paperback)
'The Celestial Toymaker' is a Doctor Who story which has something of a strong reputation based on the eponymous villain. Sadly, the Toymaker is really the only worthwhile element in this story.The story features the TARDIS crew, captured by the Toymaker, and forced to play against the Toymaker and his servants in a series of games. If they lose, they will become the Toymaker's playthings. The games are largely English school games and while this may have worked on-screen, the description of them is pretty unengaging. Unfortunately, most of this story no longer exists in its original form (and the one episode I have seen is pretty boring, too) so this may be the only way to enjoy this story. The Toymaker has been popular enough to return (in written form) a couple of times: you might want to read 'Nightmare Fair' or 'Divided Loyalties' to see him in a better story. |
