Quintessential 7th Doctor
Would you consider the audio edition of Doctor Who: Illegal Alien to be better than the print version?
Difficult to say to be fair. But let me say this. I was never a fan of Sophie Aldred or Ace in the show. That said Sophie Aldred is fantastic as a storyteller. She brings this to life effortlessly, so much so that the story not her vocal takes the lead. She only becomes, for want of a better word, visible, when she is being Ace. All this tells me she has talents we were never given an opportunity to see. Amazing job.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
London 1940, The blitz is the last thing you should be frightened of.

Great story from the Seveth Doctor
A great detailed account of one of the Seventh Doctors many adventures. Great action, story line and large cast of characters keeping the Doctor on his toes, but finds the time to save the earth, as he always does.
