I was very confused about your comments about ‘Only Human’ not having an author listed because you sounded so genuine (to start with at least). Then I went to look at my copy and I understood what you did there. 😄 In other comments… I loved how the series references back to one of these books. It shows Russel’s acknowledgement of the importance of the books during the wilderness years. I wish they’d done more of this.
Only human is amazing considering that it was actually entirely improvised by Anthony head on the spot, much like the Shakespeare code, unicorn and the wasp and the caretaker were by their casts down the line
Re-watching series 1 currently and I forgot how brooding and just that little bit more mature series 1 was before series 2 went full on 'children's show' so the gritty and 'grown-up' realism of Winner Takes All satisfies me and really connects it to the TV stories.
I remember listening to the audiobook of The Monsters Inside when I was younger without knowing the Slitheen were in it and had my mind absolutely blown when they were revealed
These are so hit or miss for me, I was recently thinking about these actually, the latter 3 are IMO the best ones, but The Monsters Inside is great as well
I managed to find a copy of Only Human in a charity shop not too long ago, and am really looking forward to reading it, as well as the other Nine novels. It will feel good to get into a story with Nine I haven't experienced yet.
Can we maybe get an exhausted supplies review? It's a fanmade audiodrama featuring the ninth and twelfth doctors, and it's available for free on youtube.
I can't wait to revisit this series of Doctor Who novels once I finished The Crusaders and everything else in between that and my my Eighth Doctor Adventures.
Jacqueline Rayner loved getting...edgy...in parts of her writing for Doctor Who from what I remember. Always felt a tad uncomfortable with her making the Doctor curse or swear. lol
I've read 4 of the 6 so far. I really enjoyed Only Human and The Stealers of Dreams but I found Winner Takes All extremely dull and the Deviant Strain very repetitive with way too many characters to keep track of.
Looking into it, there's some controversy around him posting several anti-trans remarks on social media, which has resulted in him being cancelled by various and sundry, apparently including this vid's creator. I don't have a dog in this fight but his stated viewpoint on gender identity appears to be delusional according to current scientific understanding of the term.
@@richmcgee434 I think the audiobook of Only Human Mrtardis showed was a reissue and Robert's name got taken off because of the whole controversy he is involved in, that's just my guess
I am Russian who lives in Russia all of his lives and I also found the names in 'The Deviant Strain' unconventional. Also, Tardis apparently translates Russian language to English with a cringey parody of 'slight Russian accent'. Why would she give an accent to people? We don't know, but you sound like an American. But if you accept stupid stereotyping, the book is really well-written and mysterious.
Did you really just deny the existence of Gareth Roberts because he said a few things about trans people that you didn't like? I don't agree with him either, but I hope I'm not petty enough to cancel someone because their opinions are different to mine. It comes across as immature, frankly.
I think all the abuse transpeople face goes a little beyond a 'difference of opinion': look at the laws being passed in Republican states as one big example. This isn't a 'ketchup or mustard' question.
@@SavageBroadcast I'm not saying it is a ketchup or mustard question. What I am saying is that to pretend someone doesn't exist because you don't agree with them is childish. I have friends and family that I don't agree with; in fact, vehemently disagree with at times. However, my love for them goes deeper than that. When it comes to policies surrounding these issues, I agree that's absolutely abhorrent. However, that's in the hands of the policy makers who are clearly ignorant of the facts. As is Gareth Roberts, but his opinions don't affect policy. It's up to people like us to explain why their views are damaging rather than shutting them down because of them. One last thing: I can guarantee that a view you hold today which seems perfectly harmless at the moment will be considered problematic (a dreadful word) in 10 year's time. Such is the way of the world, sadly.

Please review the 10th doctor books.
I have the audio versions of these to. What are your thoughts on the other audios and comics

To future commenters: WE KNOW who wrote Only Human. Just respect MrT's wishes not to acknowledge them.
Only Human was narrated by Anthony Head? Damn, I gotta listen to this asap
That Terry Everett Robert the Fifth gag was brilliant.
Revenge is very sweet!
Only human is amazing considering that it was actually entirely improvised by Anthony head on the spot, much like the Shakespeare code, unicorn and the wasp and the caretaker were by their casts down the line
Anthony Head actually created Buffy as well, but used a pseudonym as he's humble.
@@benw4409 yeah, like how Sam Jackson directed both avengers films but didn't want to say
@@NATHAN-gl9ns Nathan Fillion created Firefly and Matt Smith wrote The Lodger, little known facts but they're talented dudes.
Wow she really DOES sound like Jodie!

Thank you for this, this was very informative as haven't read much of these books except for Only Human.
Didn't realize they had different Narrators for some of these, I remember Camille Coduri and Nick Briggs reading the first 3.
There are different versions depending on when/where you bought or downloaded them.
@@MrTARDIS Ah ok.
I remember listening to the audiobook of The Monsters Inside when I was younger without knowing the Slitheen were in it and had my mind absolutely blown when they were revealed
Third!
Are you going to be reviewing the 9th Doctor audio?
This is said in the video, yes.
@@kurukurushuffle oh yeah, I should have been patient.
Only Human was clearly written by Hatsune Miku
Really enjoyed this vid! Would love to see you review more Doctor Who Books.
Only Human is my favourite story because it takes place in my hometown.
Where?
@@figiwigi1 Bromley
Great video, love Mr TARDIS Book Reviews haha! Where did you find the audiobooks read by David Thorpe? Been trying to find them for ages.
36:00
Oh goddamnit.
I was considering revisiting this book.
Knowing things I wish I didn't about the author taints the experience too much for me.
@MrTARDIS the author of Only Human is Gareth Roberts.
You're so right about Jackie sounding like 13, that's freaky
These are so hit or miss for me, I was recently thinking about these actually, the latter 3 are IMO the best ones, but The Monsters Inside is great as well

I read all these and remember loving them as a kid.
Only Human is god tier. I respect your choice to blank out the author tho
Are you ever going to review season 2 or continue the season 7 reviews big fan
I genuinely believed that Only Human had no credited writer, then I googled it and understood 😂😂
I liked the video as soon as you started talking about how Only Human mysteriously had no author
Next time we return to big finish because "we love stories".
Yes, it's fairly clear Steven got his idea for The Girl in the Fireplace from The Clockwise Man (the only of 9's line I've read).
I kept confusing characters actually, their lines just blur together. It made it a slow read compared to how fast I usually get though books.
“Reliant on Technology to suppress negative emotions”
I’m getting serious “We Happy Few” vibes from that. Except with tech instead of ‘Mmm drugs’
I can't wait to revisit this series of Doctor Who novels once I finished The Crusaders and everything else in between that and my my Eighth Doctor Adventures.
Are planning on reviewing monsters in metropolis from the ninth doctor adventures volume 3 as part of cybercember?
Not as part of Cybercember because it's only 1 in a boxset of 3, which is part of 4 volumes. However, I'll definitely review it.
Every Novel? I have to see this. Alien Bondage? Sounds like the Virgin NA Novels have returned...
Jacqueline Rayner loved getting...edgy...in parts of her writing for Doctor Who from what I remember. Always felt a tad uncomfortable with her making the Doctor curse or swear. lol
Wait , so there's no chance Winner Takes All takes place in between World War Three and the Empty Child?
why is only human author blank out, Did something happen
There's a link in the description breaking down the topic.
I've read 4 of the 6 so far.
I really enjoyed Only Human and The Stealers of Dreams but I found Winner Takes All extremely dull and the Deviant Strain very repetitive with way too many characters to keep track of.
According to Wikipedia Only Human was written by Gareth Roberts.
Kinda missed the point here.

@@oranmccann2476 it looks he just censored over it with a black mark
@@j.diamond6014 Okay then, I didn't notice when I first watched the video
Gareth Roberts. Shit I said his name
That's fine. No one's stopping you.
❤️
9 Daleks dont like this

I hate The Deviant Strain. It’s boring, uninteresting and the pacing is awful. It’s just doesn’t feel exciting to me.
I wasn't a huge fan of it either. Thought there were way too many characters to keep track of and found it very repetitive.
