(Redirected from There Are Worse Things Than Angels (novel))
There Are Worse Things Than Angels was an unproduced Doctor Who novel pitched by Lawrence Miles to the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures in early 1997.[1] It was rejected by editor Nuala Buffini because it was "too graphic" for what was planned to be a family series, and The Eight Doctors was commissioned in its stead.[2]
It would have been set in the 1970s with a British proto-UNIT paranormal investigation team based on Reagan and Carter from The Sweeney.[1] The opening scene was a ritual with a frozen chicken which was "like a necromantic version of the 'Sledgehammer' video". The tone of the story would have resembled Miles' later novel Dead Romance.[3]
