Also I donāt like twelve much already so this kinda was annoying Spooky_ghost View profile Like Liked 0 5 March 2025 · 13 words Review by Guardax This is an incredibly simplistically-written story. Nothing to really say here, it's straightforward.

And dare I say this one just doesnāt work at all for me. It is written competently for the most part, but nothing unique is there about. The Characters fall for me flat and the Story feels very rushed to me. Overall, not a great Short Story.

MY SCATTERED AND TOTALLY IRRELEVANT NOTES: This Doctor Who Adventure Calendar story, written by Mark Williams, follows the Twelfth Doctor as he crashes an ongoing pantomime and rescues one of its actors, Ceri, from a group of invading animal-human hybrids. The hybrids are described in a way that evokes Koquillion from The Rescue. However, as a brief story, it struggles to flesh out its characters, setting, or the transformation of the other individuals into various animals. The alien antagonistsābeings made of light attempting to invadeāalso feel underdeveloped. Williams' prose is straightforward, but he doesn't quite capture the distinct voice of the Capaldi Doctor. The story concludes in a rushed and somewhat unsatisfying manner, leaving it feeling incomplete. MrColdStream View profile Like Liked 0 Show All Reviews (7) Open in new window Statistics AVG.
