A review by hammard
Doctor Who: Invasion of the Cat-People by Gary Russell

2.0

This is a story with some holes in. Unfortunately, not small holes but gaping ones. Firstly, structural. This is written to be a six part story but there is only enough content in each part for about 15 minutes of screen-time so it reads more like a selection of webisodes with incident occurring at start and finish and the middle being most talking.. What's more, much of it is filler (in particular there is an almost completely pointless part in Baghdad) so the main plot could be rounded up in half the length.
Secondly, it involves a number of pieces of offensive language used, both by characters and the narration itself, which makes for unpleasant reading. Thirdly, what plot there was a faintly ridiculous mix of b-movie sci-fi and the poorer end Hammer Horror.
There are some intersting bits in it but much of it is a mess.
