Doctor Who: Twice Upon a Time (Target Collection)
Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk
Also available to order from www.bookdepository.com
Discover the new Doctor Who classics.
Still reeling from his encounter with the Cybermen, the First Doctor stumbles through the bitter Antarctic wind, resisting the approaching regeneration with all his strength. But as he fights his way through the snowdrifts, he comes across the familiar shape of a blue police box, and a mysterious figure who introduces himself as the Doctor…
Thrown together at their most vulnerable moments, the two Doctors must discover why the snowflakes are suspended in the sky, why a First World War Captain has been lifted from his time stream moments before his death, and who is the mysterious Glass Woman who knows their true name. The Doctor is reunited with Bill, but is she all she seems? And can he hold out against the coming regeneration?

March 24th, 2018 - 9:41amThis story sums up the Capaldi era, promising but delivers nothing.

March 16th, 2018 - 7:17pmThat line is ironic. It’s meant to show how much the doctor has changed, along with how much the show has progressed. It’s not a serious line!

March 16th, 2018 - 7:17pmThat one line definitely reminded my of the first doctor.

March 16th, 2018 - 7:52pmIt showed in the worst way possible, why would an the doctor, who Is an alien say something like that. Two episodes before that Capaldis doctor said they did not have problems with that.

March 16th, 2018 - 9:23pmIt’s exactly how the first doctor talked. As someone says above it was to point out the difference between eras.

March 17th, 2018 - 8:49pmIt was extremely exaggerated, these lines happened once in a blue moon not every five minutes, it’s more like a parody of Hartnell.

March 17th, 2018 - 10:42pmI agree that he did say that sort of thing, but I also agree with yo-yo that they shouldn’t have emphasised it that much, one or two lines would have been fine and in-keeping with the original series but the amount it came up was uncomfortable and unnecessary, not to mention uncharacteristic.
I think perhaps in ‘World Enough and Time’ the Doctor was remembering the Gallifrey of his youth through rose-tinted brainy specs (or sonic shades). It has been a couple of thousand years for him, after all.

March 16th, 2018 - 5:22pmWhat, The glass woman knows his true name, where was this in the episode

March 16th, 2018 - 7:15pmThis is probably based on a fuller or earlier script. Might have an extended interchange with clara as well
Alex
March 17th, 2018 - 1:35amYes, this is an aspect of the novelisations. They adapt the full script of an episode, including deleted lines and that sorta thing. This was probably something in the original episode that was cut for time.
Alex
March 17th, 2018 - 1:36amThat and it makes sense, of course the Glass Woman would know his true name. Why wouldn’t she.

March 17th, 2018 - 4:46pmShe didn’t in the episode or did she
I forgot half of the episode

March 16th, 2018 - 4:05pmI look forward to seeing how the 12th Dr regeneration is described in print.

March 16th, 2018 - 3:44pmDespite the fact that the image of Bill looks to have been taken from Thin Ice, this is still an excellent cover, very evocative of the original Target novelisations.

March 16th, 2018 - 4:34pmIt really doesn’t matter where the picture is from.

March 16th, 2018 - 4:47pmThis cover’s “deliberate mistake” I guess.
Doctor Stu
March 21st, 2018 - 3:04pmIt sort of does when there’s loads more professional pictures they could have used of her and they use one of her in mid head tilt, mouth wide open dressed in Victorian clothing

Alex
November 18th, 2017 - 12:50pmDidn’t he state that Heralds of Destruction was his last Who thing he’ll ever write? He didn’t stay away too long 🙂

November 18th, 2017 - 3:15pmStill nothing official here in the uk, but on radio times website and on the penguin australia website it says stephen moffat adapted by paul cornell for this book.

March 16th, 2018 - 8:23pmThank goodness, hopefully he can treat the first doctor with more respect than Moffat
