These things are being pumped out (approximately) every other month in early 1976, and soon it will be one every month. Now there's a sense of completism to it all, I think. We had the <i>first </i>first Doctor story (<a href="https://lessaccurategrandmother.blogspot.com/2024/07/blog-post.html" <u class="showmore_hide">rel="nofollow" target="_top">sort of anyway</a>), so the gap that needs to be plugged is we don't have the <i>last</i> first Doctor story. How do we get from William Hartnell to Tom Baker? This is a necessary part of that chain. (Though the first second Doctor story wouldn't come along for more than fifteen years!)<br><br>To me, the book was qualitatively different from the previous three I've read so far. When it came to <i>The Daleks</i> (1964), <i><a href="https://lessaccurategrandmother.blogspot.com/2024/07/review-doctor-who-web-planet-novelisation-bill-strutton.html" rel="nofollow" target="_top">The Zarbi</a></i> (1965), <i><a href="https://lessaccurategrandmother.blogspot.com/2024/08/review-doctor-who-crusades-novelisation-david-whitaker.html" rel="nofollow" target="_top">The Crusaders</a></i> (1966), it seemed to me they'd all been designed to work as a <i>book</i> first and foremost. Especially <i>The Daleks</i> and <i>The Crusaders</i>, you could pick them up and know nothing of the television program and be satisfied, I think; <i>The Zarbi</i> not as much, but as I discussed, Bill Strutton is definitely trying to operate in the same space as <i>The Daleks</i>.<br><br>But for the first time, <i>The Tenth Planet</i> is clearly not a novel but a novel<i>isation</i>. It is designed to plug a gap in your viewing of the television programme. That is to say, I don't think there's really that much going on here. We get the scripts on the page, but no sense of character, no sense of atmosphere. The Doctor and his companions almost feel lost in this, observers to the arrival of Mondas at Earth. I know there are constraints here from the story as produced, but it feels like the Doctor is barely even in this book.<br><br>This is a doubly momentous event in <i>Doctor Who</i> history—the first Cyberman story, the first (what would eventually be called) regeneration story—but nothing about it as rendered by Gerry Davis <i>feels</i> momentous. Basically a bunch of people hang about in a space center talking about stuff. I could see how this material would come to life on screen with some good acting and direction (it has been a long time since I watched <i>The Tenth Planet</i>, so I don't really remember if it gets that or not), but it never comes alive on the page. I found this a plod in a way that was not true of the three previous books.<br><br>It has its fun bits like any novelisation. The afterword points out a nice emphasis on the Doctor's hands that foreshadow what will happen to him. We get a different potted history of the Cybermen than has become accepted (they originated on Telos and moved to Mondas here, which to be honest makes a kind of nonsensical story even <i>less</i> plausible). The date of the story is moved from 1986 to 2000, and the origin of Ben and Polly is moved from 1966 to about 1974. In modern novelisations, I feel like an author's added details are often about smoothing out consistency issues; I kind of like that Gerry Davis just went around causing more problems!</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_fef99237');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ></div><div id="rfd_103439989" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_103439989"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"><div id="reviewflags_given_103439989" class="reviewflags_given hideme">Flagged<span id="rfi1_103439989" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as not a review" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_notreview"></i></span><span id="rfi2_103439989" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as abuse" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_abuse"></i></span></span></div><span id="rfrf_103439989"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/Stevil2001" target="_top">Stevil2001</a> | <a href="/work/108233/reviews" data-workid="108233" data-title="Doctor-Who-and-the-Tenth-Planet" class="" >4 other reviews</a> | Sep 1, 2024 | <a href="/review/103439989"><i class="fas fa-link"></i></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_267439324" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/617516" data-workid="617516" data-title="Mutant-59-The-Plastic-Eaters" class="" ><img src="https://pics.cdn.librarything.com/picsizes/d5/74/d5746b6ceef6714597a7a335467426b41414141_v5.jpg" srcset="https://pics.cdn.librarything.com/picsizes/48/e5/48e5770438770dc597a7a335467444941414141_v5.jpg 2x, https://pics.cdn.librarything.com/picsizes/ca/13/ca138dbff6e2efc597a7a335467417341514141_v5.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"><div class="postinfo"><a href="/work/617516" data-workid="617516" data-title="Mutant-59-The-Plastic-Eaters" class="" >Mutant 59: The Plastic-Eaters</a> by <a href="/author/pedlerkit">Kit Pedler</a></div></div><div class="" >I vaguely recall another student carrying this in (Class of '77), and as one of the few science fiction novels I didn't immediately read its stuck in my head all these years.
