Following up on events depicted in the Bernice Summerfield Adventure Death and the Daleks, Benny is working hard to rebuild a ruined world while mourning for the dead.

It is in this climate that the Eighth Doctor arrives, with Benny furious at his absence. It's been something touched on before, but I do like when we explore why the Doctor doesn't always appear in crisis stories affecting spin-off media. Everyone has a couple of touching moments, The Doctor gets his brother some socks, and on the whole this was a pretty welcome experience.

It does make sense that "...Be Forgot" features Benny since she was created by Paul Cornell, the editor of this book, but he does not write this short, Cavan Scott & Mark Wright do. They do a pretty good job, but it does stretch things a bit when Benny is just getting angrier and angrier before the Doctor shows up.
