After a two year hiatus, the Target audio range returned earlier this year and I couldn't have been more delighted at the selection of titles headed to audiobook. Among them was the fondly remembered adaptation of what I consider to be one of the better fourth Doctor stories, Full Circle.

So I do enjoy the target novelisations, a nice way to revisit stories and get a feeling for ones you can't see. This one I started reading right after having watched the episode and I gave up before the end of the first chapter. First it starts with Ian wanting Barbara to cook them breakfast. They are both...

Doctor Who and the Invasion of the Dinosaurs

| ISBN | 0426108744 |
These Target books were among the first books I ever read, along with the Narnia books and any kind of encyclopaedia of dinosaurs. 'Palaeontology' is one of my first big show-off words that I ever picked up. So Doctor Who featuring dinosaurs is win-win.
Malcolm Hulke is usually good value. If he was...

Doctor Who and the Tomb of the Cybermen

| ISBN | 0426110765 |
Tomb of the Cybermen has always been a fans favourite, in fact it was the first Troughton story I watched on DVD.
He’s incarceration of The Doctor really sparkles on the screen.
This novelisation is just as good, the story itself is very character driven as the TARDIS team arrive on Telos...
