Doctor Who: The Histor Collection y

Release Date: 12 February

Publisher: BBC Books Eight rejackets of old Who novels, including three by writers who later wrote for the TV show: Paul Cornell, Mark Gatiss and Gareth Roberts. Cornell’s is Seventh Doctor story Human Nature ( 1995), later the basis of a David Tennant two- parter. It’s an excellent book on its own terms, plus the differences between the two versions are interesting; the original is much darker, and able to give the central love story a bit more depth.
