“Fleeting Faces: A Charity Skit’s Unlikely Transformation”

Fleeting Faces is an oddity. The first third of it is a faithful adaptation of the 2023 Children in Need minisode Destination Skaro—the one where Fourteen arrives on Skaro to witness the genesis of the Daleks while inadvertently giving the Kaleds the name and the catchphrase of the pepperpots. Oh, and the one with the normal-looking Davros. I never thought that we'd get an official novelisation of a comedy skit made for a charity show, but here we are.

The rest of it is just a reprint of a Tenth Doctor short story (Under Control and Into Control), originally published in a Doctor Who Annual and the collection Ten Days of Christmas.
