8 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Hulton College in Norfolk is a school dedicated to producing military officers. With the First World War about to start, the boys of the school will soon be on the front line. But no one expects a war not even Dr John Smith, the colleges new house master... The Doctors friend Benny is enjoying her holiday in the same town. But then she meets a future version of the Doctor, and things start to get dangerous very quickly. With the Doctor she knows gone, and only a suffragette and an elderly rake for company, can Benny fight off a vicious alien attack? And will Dr Smith be able to save the day? An adventure set in Britain on the eve of the First World War, featuring the Seventh Doctor as played by Sylvester McCoy and his companion Bernice Summerfield. This book was the basis for the Tenth Doctor television story Human Nature / The Family of Blood starring David Tennant.

There's the obvious #fireandice series option (Game of Thrones if anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about!), but there's also Doctor Who. Quote comes from 'The Family of Blood' episode but have tagged the correct author. #WinterWonderland @Cinfhen @TrishB

I had no idea that the Human Nature / Family Of Blood two part 10th Doctor story was based on a book. I love that story. It was interesting having the 7th Doctor be Smith rather than the 10th.

Had to go with Paul CORNell for today's prompt. This is one of several Doctor Who novels I scooped at a local used book sale 😁

I also have shelves for my Doctor Who books (plus some old VHS tapes I kept purely for decorative purposes).

In Ottawa, the 4th Saturday of May is the Great Glebe Garage Sale. Residents, businesses and institutions all hold yard sales on the same day, including an awesome book sale at one of the churches. This year I found A WHOLE BOX OF DOCTOR WHO NOVELS ?? In the end I bought "only" 8. Also found a few other books, a few DVDs at a big DVD sale, and a Strand Books purse! Not a bad morning's work ?

DGRachel Nice! 7y
SusanInTiburon What a great tradition! 7y
Mimi28 Awesome!! 7y

rabbitprincess @DGRachel @Mimi28 It was a pretty good haul 😉 @SusanInTiburon It is, and a lot of places donate all or part of the proceeds to charity. Kids also set up lemonade stands, and there are food trucks, and it is a general carnival atmosphere 😄 7y
Melissa_J I've lived in Ottawa for close to twenty years and can you believe I've never been??? 7y
LauraBrook Wow that's some excellent tag-sale-ing! #score 7y
rabbitprincess @Melissa_J I've been going off and on for the past few years. The book sale makes me a steadier customer 😉 It's worth checking out once, although it is best to go earlier in the morning. @LauraBrook The Strand Books bag was my friend's fault; if she hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have bought it 😆 7y
LeahBergen Awesome! I like The Strand bag. 👍🏼 7y
rabbitprincess @LeahBergen It was a great find! 7y

Did you know that one of the most popular New Who episodes was based on what's considered the best Doctor Who novel? Human Nature underwent some big changes going from print to screen (for one thing, the book stars the Seventh Doctor), and while the two-part episode is great I think the novel is better. Plus it features the awesome Bernice Summerfield as companion! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to try the New Adventures series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Trav That's interesting! Another one added to my TBR. 8y
Anton @Trav Human Nature works well as an intro to the New Adventures, there's not a lot of continuity from previous books and the story is already familiar to people who've seen the episodes. And it's a great showcase for Benny! 8y
Trav @Anton Wonderful! Thank you for the additional info. It's always appreciated. 8y
