This review contains spoilers!

The Fifteenth Doctor #19

'Where Did They Get the Pig?' (2025) from Doctor Who Magazine Special Edition 69.


Including this little RTD-penned short story here because it hasn't been added to the site yet. While not really a Doctor story, I believe it's implied that Fifteen makes an appearance at the end. The rest of the story is a nice little prequel to Aliens of London showing how
Margaret Blaine got her space pig. A good and quick read.


The Fifteenth Doctor #20

'What I Did On My Holidays By Omo Esosa' (2025) from BBC Doctor Who website.


Great to finally have a casual Fifteen story drop on the website like this. It's a good expansion on the opening scene of this week's The Story & the Engine, just adding that little bit more to the world and the storytelling. I definitely want more little things like this cropping up outside of short story collections and full NSAs.

This is really cool!

This is a short story prelude to The Story and the Engine and it's a lot of fun.

It definitely made me excited for the episode, because Inua Ellams wrote a very engaging story here with some marvellous prose.

LOVE that we got a little bonus story from this episode! very fun!! i <3 tie-ins!!!!!

the reason for my rating is bc my star ratings are for me to tell myself how much i personally enjoyed it btw. its very much written like a kid writing an essay and it very much does what it sought out to do! awesome :)

Nothing super substantial, but does add a nice bit of background for Omo and the Doctor's relationship.

This Doctor did not look like any doctor I knew. His accent was strange, he was wearing lots of rings on his fingers, like a queen, but was looking around like a soldier.
