This Time Lord Fairy Tale follows the story of "Little Red Riding Hood" incredibly closely, with a few Doctor Who universe twists! My favorite part: Ninth Doctor cameo. :)

The half way point of the Time Lord Fairy Tales saga has been reached, and it is another great spin on a classic tale, with the doctor making an appearance here, in almost a cameo.
A great little tale though, this series continues to impress.

I wouldn't like to meet a Zygon in the forest. They are some clever but also very nasty creatures. And using them in a retelling of Red Riding Hood is a pretty nice and fitting idea. The atmosphere itself could have been a bit more unsettling, but overall it was a lovely read. I loved that Rose and Nine were involved. It's always a delight to have the Doctor around.

Having Rose in a story with a "Big Bad Wolf"? Genius.
"She had heard the stories they told about the Bad Wolf - she had seen its name scrawled across walls and daubed on pavements in the town. She had seen 'Bad Wolf' written in the most unlikely of places..."

There's also a fantastic bit about the woodcutter and his shed.

This one is definitely more like a traditional fairy tale, and it even has The Doctor and the TARDIS! Of course, I may have just loved it because Rose was my favourite companion.
