Doctor Who and the Curse of Peladon di Brian Hayles
A short fun read ♡

I think some readers are of an age to remember the slightly incomprehensible 1978 BBC children's TV series that this books novelises - particularly memorable for Who fans in that it stars Sarah Sutton, a year or so before she became Nyssa, and John Abineri, who was in Doctor Who four times; and the writer of course was Brian Hayles, who wrote the four Ice Warrior stories of Old Who and also The Celestial Toymaker and The Smugglers. He died, aged 47, just before the first episode was shown (and before the book had been published).
The book sticks fairly closely to the TV story as I remember it (from first watching it in 1978 and again in 2010). It suffers a bit from the inevitable traps of novelising a script - basically, the omniscient narrator sometimes comes over as kinda dumb. But it's a decent recreation of a very weird story, which provoked happy memories.… (altro)

Intrigue, as alien delegates visit a backwards planet.
Nothing really worth seeing, but I was reasonably entertained - often for the wrong reasons.

The Doctor returns to Peladon, where the working classes are being exploited to further an intergalactic war effort.
I kind of hate planet Peladon, but it isn't nearly so bad this time around.
