Five Minute Fiction

As a treat for you all, this week I'm reaching back onto the endless bookshelf of yesteryear and plucking out my favourite Doctor Who book, dusting it off and presenting it for your delectation. I know some of you literary types will turn your noses up, but if you're a Doctor Who fan you'll either love this already or you soon will. The reason? Doctor Who books got me reading. And I'm not alone in that. Also I've just been commissioned to write an essay for a book about the Doctor Who books from Target. Thirdly I haven't finished this week's novel but I did have time for what is an excellent audiobook. Fourthly Ben Aaronovitch is now better known as the author of a magical crime series which begins with Rivers of London and they are ace.Morrissey appears to have disappeared from the studio in the same week that Dawkins seems to have doubled in size. Bryce D'abo is still knocking about but is throwing shade all over our Spoken Word feature. Hopefully the drunken old sod will be gone for next week's episode.
