Short Trips was the first book in the BBC Books Short Trips series. An abridged audiobook version narrated by Nicholas Courtney and Sophie Aldred featured five of the original stories, Freedom, Model Train Set, Glass, Stop the Pigeon and Old Flames, alongside an exclusive story, Degrees of Truth.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

From Neolithic Earth to the furthest reaches of the universe in the far future, Short Trips brings together established Doctor Who authors and first-time writers in a collection of stories exploring the ever-changing worlds of the Doctor and his friends.

Witness the last days of the siege of Masada with the First Doctor and meet the Fourth Doctor's extraordinary "old flame". An evil enemy makes life difficult for the Seventh and Third Doctors, and while the Fifth Doctor is under attack on a sinister ship shrouded in fog, the Second may soon be guilty of a grave error of judgement... The Sixth Doctor's hopes of a holiday are dashed when he discovers a pleasure planet is hiding a shocking secret, and the Eighth Doctor is caught up in a deadly drama played out during the construction of Stonehenge.

And of course, that's just the beginning...
