The fact Moffat gave up his time to write something so humane, so sincere, so human for charity is a great credit to him. It’s not a throwaway story. It is a solid and surprising idea. 15thDoctor View profile Like Liked 1 25 July 2024 · 85 words Review by Shayleen 5 This is Moffat at his best. A short, sweet story that manages to deliver a very human, emotional impact. I'm sure all of us on this forum are deep, devoted Doctor Who fans who have a connection to the show, books, audios, or whatever else that runs deeper than the average person and this story reminds me of why I love it and why the Doctor is a hero. At 19 pages and free to read, I think every fan should give it a read x Shayleen View profile Like Liked 5 8 July 2024 · 51 words Review by PexLives 7 Now I’m not normally a Moffat fanboy. I actually think his writing is pretty hit or miss. But in 19 pages Moffat made me cry reading a 13th Doctor story. He pulls out all the stops doing it; this is the most Moffat has ever Moffatted, but this was really good. PexLives View profile Like Liked 7 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
