For me, any story of the Whoniverse that focuses on the TARDIS is nothing but a good thing. Stories like the Tom Baker classic, ‘The Invasion of Time’, audio stories like ‘Zagreus’, and indeed, last series’ episode ‘The Doctor’s Wife’ by Neil Gaiman, an episode which ranks as my uncontested all-time favourite. As I’m sure you’ve gathered at this stage, any story which explores that mad machine in detail tends to be pretty wonderful indeed, and I’m delighted to say that Steve Thompson’s take on the TARDIS more than lives up to expectations.
