Review of The Little Things by dema1020
The Little Things definitely stuck with me more than these other Shorts I read in between family stuff during the holidays.
Featuring the Fourth Doctor, Romana, and K9, our heroes encounter a letter accidentally inserted into the TARDIS from before the events of An Unearthly Child. The rest of The Little Things is really about just finding a way to send the letter at an appropriate day and time so it arrives as intended.
Thematically, this fits with the idea of The Little Things - that something as small as a letter can make a big, big difference. Romana and the Doctor never learn the fate of the letter, but Paul Beardsley wisely shares with us what happens, and it really sits with me. Bittersweet and wholesome as hell, this was a proper Christmas story, even if it was a little clunky at times. This is one of my favourites of Short Trips 11, currently only topped by Never Seen Cairo.
