Dr. Who in "The Sour Note"

 

In addition to having read my first Telos novella, I have also dug into a Doctor Who Annual for the first time - the 1968 edition. My initial foray began with "The Sour Note".

It's a very short tale that opens with Ben wanting to get out and get some exercise as he feels that his existence in the TARDIS (referred to as "Tardis") has become cramped and confining. They land on a planet and off Ben goes for a run.

The Doctor ("Dr. Who" here") and Polly explore the new planet and encounter some locals. A little Pied Piper action helps save the day.

Slight and written for people much younger than me. But it has a nice moment towards the end with Ben that would have gone well on TV with a wah wah wah sound.
