Review of The Morning of the Day of the Doctor by thewomanintheship

27 February 2025

This review contains spoilers!

This was probably my second favourite story in The Adventures Before. It follows Osgood on the morning of the Day of the Doctor and explains why Osgood had Kate's personal phone at the beginning of that episode in a hilarious and entertaining way. I enjoyed the Curator's appearance, and his compliment of Osgood's scarf! I also appreciated how it expanded on McGillop's character. However, I felt the conclusion faltered in that it left a lot of plotlines hanging that weren't resolved in the Day of the Doctor; particularly what would happen to McGillop who I don't recall ever appearing after the episode. I'm hoping that the sequel book to this short story collection that's coming out in 2025 will include a linked story that ties this one up a little better!
