Doctor Who and An Unearthly Child by Terrance Dicks
4.0
As someone who has religiously watched Doctor Who since it made it's return 10 years ago (is it really that long??) I'm a little shocked that I only saw the first ever episode very recently. This is the novelisation of the first ever episode, and the first chance we get to meet the Doctor.
It's got everything I love about Doctor Who in. Time travel, alien worlds, bad guys an the Doctor himself. The story is written in a simplistic style with very little description or waffle; it's very much dialogue-action-dialogue-action. It works though. The downside to this is that there's very little character development, and I haven't yet got much of a sense for the first Doctor.
A very enjoyable way to see how it all began.
