Lux.
Enjoyed this adaption of last seasons story Lux in which The Doctor And Belinda are transformed into animated characters by a God-like being, one of The Pantheon of old Gods making life so difficult for our hero. Its a lovely and experimental conceit, adapted here as a novel by Dave Goss from a screenplay by Russell T Davis. in the episode The Doctor comes crashing through our televisions out into "our" world, into a flat with three Doctor Who fans, who know the whole canon of the show and as such all the details of The Doctor's lives. They also exercise this conceit as best they can given the novel's paperback format, breaking the text wall into vision. It s a bravo attempt at stretching the format and another reason to give the show a big clap on the back for attempting to surprise and entertain. Surely, even the hard to please Gods Of Ragnorok.
