Reading over your review: this doesn’t sound that great. The story has potential to work if it was fine tuned some.

But the Doctor being out of character is enough to make me go 🤷. I can understand the writer not knowing how he’s gonna act. Since the episode hadn’t aired yet. I recall reading one of the 13 novels , Molten Heart, and feeling this way about Graham ( the author kept having call Yaz “ Yaz, love” ).

And a pretty egregious case was A Big Hand For the Doctor: where I think the author just based One on the Target books.

However, I have recently discovered the fun and use of research. Could this writer not have just asked to get a copy of a script? Holly Black wrote Lights Out before Twelve’s first episode aired, and she got to use I think three or four scripts to help with his character.

I will say though “ he ran up to people, one by one, sticking the sonic in their faces and asked, "You in distress?" ‘. made me giggle.
