I did particularly like the very first story, "Best Seller" by Ian Mond and Danny Oz, which has the Eighth Doctor and Chaley pollard encountering a evil book in Australia, and a long satire on reality TV, "Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life" by Anthony Keetch which has the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa faced with a cult sf show on contemporary Earth. I note also a story set in 14th-century Ireland, "Screamager" by Jacqueline Rayner, which brings the Second Doctor and Victoria into contact with the Black Death and is nice enough from the character point of view but not hugely historically satisfactory. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Doctor Who Short Trips is a series of themed short story anthologies of new Doctor Whofiction, featuring the Doctor in all of his first eight incarnations. They feature stories written by some of the leading names in Doctor Who, past and present, including Paul Cornell, Gareth Roberts, Christopher H. Bidmead, and Paul Magrs. Whether made of flesh and bone, or created in the deep recesses of the mind, monsters are terrible things. They come after you in the night, when you least expect it; they invade your world when all seems safe.Monstersfeatures stories that tell of such beasts—some real, some imaginary; some alien, some homegrown.

Created just before the BBC started the new series of Doctor Who, there is a sense of tiredness in most of these stories that is fairly rare, though there were a number of interesting tales, particularly Matt Grady, who re-introduces us to Dr Elizabeth Shaw, who is possibly the least appreciated of the Doctor's Companions and 'Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life' by Anthony Keetch was quite good fun as well especially as it added a degree of interactivity to the invasion process that was quite prescient.
