About this episode
The episode discusses the final Sixth Doctor adventure in print form with guest Gary Russell.
"Physician, heal thyself..." "It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for..." "I don't want to go..." "Carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice..." The last one of these, is not the most appropriate final words for any incarnation of the Doctor, and in today's book club, we look at the final Sixth Doctor adventure, in print form. Gary Russell joins us to discuss this novel, and its ending, and the factors that made it darker than he planned it to be. We feature our usual readings, the DWM review at the DWM, and contemporary thoughts from Goodreads.
