4.0 out of 5 stars
A game of cricket with unexpected post-game activity,
This review is from: Black Orchid (Doctor Who: Fifth Doctor, No. 113) (Paperback)
The TARDIS lands at a railway station in 1925 England, and the Doctor finds that he is expected (sort of) to make up the numbers in one side of a cricket game (and period cricket jokes about 'The Doctor' and 'The Master' are, if obscure, quite funny). After the game, they are invited to Cranleigh Hall, where it turns out that Nyssa is the spitting image of their host. But Ann Talbot is in the eye of someone haunting the secret passages of Cranleigh Hall, and Nyssa is therefore just as likely to be the target...One of those odd beasts, the two part Doctor Who serial, here adapted by original scriptwriter Terence Dudley, this book makes the adaptation of several much longer serials seem positively anorexic. Mr. Dudley takes the opportunity to fill out the story without adding strange appendages (such as, for instance, in the case of 'The Sontaran Experiment'). Not as packed with events as many Doctor Who books, this one seems relatively relaxing in pace. |
