He’s Behind You is the first short story in The Wintertime Paradox by Dave Rudden. 

It’s a solid introduction to the anthology, with a Ten and Rose tale. 

It’s about a pantomime about Gallifrey. Dave Rudden clearly knows his stuff, with some hilarious jokes and references all adding to the pantomime feel of the tale.  

The mention of Irving Braxatiel was a particular highlight! 

Thankfully, Rudden doesn’t expect the reader to be a super-fan, and knowledge of the more obscure corners of the Whoniverse is thankfully not needed to enjoy this story. 

All in all, it’s a cracking good story, with some great visuals, funny moments, and an intriguing prologue, which gives a sense that the seemingly unrelated stories to follow in this collection may all be connected...
