    Adventures in lockdown:
    Don’t eat all the food…Eats all the food…that was as good as it got for me.

    Maybe the Doctors adventures were better, I will have to get the book!

    Not allowing it to be sold overseas staggers me. There’s a whole world out here happy to throw money at Children in Need. And apparently they don’t want it.

      Children in Need is a BBC specific UK registered Charity that’s why, and all funds raised are spent in the UK.

      I’m sure wherever you are in the world there is a Children’s charity you can give your money to.

    I was so hoping they’d release these. Must have! Great cover and I hope they use the artwork that accompanies some of these. Great news.

      Totally agree Jodie is very photogenic and ideal as an artist’s impression which is another reason why she makes such a great dr.
      So looking forward to the Xmas special can’t wait.
