TARDIS Guide

Review of Punting by jiffleball

10 July 2025

This story truly captures the tone of 4 and Romana — and what a relationship for a TARDIS team to have. Romana is neither starstruck now bamboozled by the Doctor's intelligence or eccentricity. Watching, or reading about, the two of them bouncing off each other as equally competent and absurd time-traveling aliens is always a fun ride. If you like this mini-adventure, I'd highly recommend Jonathan Morris's Festival of Death, which features this pair (plus K-9) in a zany, absurdist but darkly dangerous thrill ride.

One thing I'll add about the Target Storybook in general is that you really need to be familiar with the characters and eras they're using. I'm going to be skipping the next two stories for now as they probably bounce off events I haven't seen.
