Scratchman

Where do I even begin with this one? As my first Doctor Who Novel, I may have some bias to it, but my God, Scratchman is just so good. I can totally see why many of its Idea would have suited a Film very well (if I recall correctly, the Core Idea of this Novel was pitched as a Film first around the Mid 70s, but I could be wrong). Its use of Cybermen is creative and creepy. There are just so many Things I could point out that I love with this book!

Feel free to ramble, talk, discuss all Things around Scratchman! The Good, the Bad and the Baker!

Oh yes those Scenes with this certain someone are so good! Some of my favorites with that Character (and that says a lot because I like them already quite a bunch, lol)

I liked Part One. Part Two not so much. 2.5/5

Might be the only one not a fan of it but, to keep with the positivity, I liked Harry and Scratch, mostly. Wasn’t there an SJA reference in the Puzzle Room? I liked the TARDIS stuff, I remember that. Definitely wondered about it during a later Doctor Who book starring a Classic companion[1].
