Publisher's summary
Hello! We’re living through some strange times right now.
With people staying home, and families stuck together, I thought maybe a few little presents from Doctor Who might help. Something to read, together or alone. New treats, from the people who make Doctor Who.
We’ll try and post things here once or twice a week. Later this week, we’ll have a never-before-published treat written by Russell T Davies.
To start us off, I’ve written a few words about what went through the Thirteenth Doctor’s head, immediately after she regenerated and was thrown out her TARDIS.
Stay safe.
