== Original short stories ==
Some of the monsters have a short video about them. John Barrowman (Captain Jack) reads them. These videos can be reached on the Doctor Who official website. There are quite a few different ones, mostly monsters from the third and fourth series. They range from the [[Hath]] to [[Davros]] and the [[Dalek]]s to the [[Weeping Angel]]s. There is a very good range.
