I’ve read very few Doctor Who novels (Shada, Timewyrm: Genesis, & RTD’s The Writer’s Tale) and I’m looking for books that have some great lines or moments that make you laugh.
I’m reading Timewyrm: Exodus right now (just finished Chapter 6) and there’s been plenty of things 7 has particularly said or done that genuinely made me laugh out loud. I’m really enjoying it so far.
I would love to know which books you really enjoyed in that regard!
The Secret in Vault 13 had a few good funny moments but this part especially stands out in my memory
The Empire of Glass. Oh, the shenanigans that ensue and the hilarious misunderstandings. It was Discworld-like. Highly recommended.
Probably ‘The Highest Science’.
There’s a scene where the Seventh Doctor managed to trick the Chelonians into reading a phone book from cover to cover… twice!
Not a novel, but the short story ‘The Package’ from Torchwood Magazine was very fun
TL:DR: to stop an invasion the team need to find an alien beacon thing within like 3 hours. Luckily Ianto already bought off eBay a few days ago, unfortunately, the Royal Mail tried delivering while they were out and trying to pick it up it’s revealed that for some reason the Torchwood Institute and the Royal Mail go back and not in a good way
Just very stupid, and very fun, only 7 pages (more like 4 if you don’t count art) and it’s by James Goss, so definitely worth reading
I love that book, it’s a look into how good Jodie could have been as The Doctor if she hadn’t been stuck with Chibnall as Showrunner
Not an entire book but a short story in one, Girl Power! from The Missy Chronicles is SO funny.
I remember really liking Timewyrm: Exodus, and it’s one I hope to go back and re-read at some point, but I don’t remember any humor in it. I guess that’s one more reason I should get around to that re-read.
Sadly, though there have been plenty of things in books that have made me laugh out loud, I cannot recall any specific instance. Okay, well, I can say there were some funny chuckles in Who KIlled Kennedy, I think there were laughs in some of Gareth Roberts work, like The Romance of Crime, and Steve Lyons stuff, like Conundrum, usually has some laughs in it.
Oh, and Dave Stone thinks he’s really funny, and I believe some people agree. I feel like I should find his work funnier than I do, but YMMV.
Sky Pirates! is very funny imo
Yeah - I’ve never quite got the Dave Stone brand of humour but humour is very subjective. I preferred the comedy of Gareth Roberts’ novels.
I’m a big Dave Stone fan lol, his sense of humor is perfect for me
