More About Doctor Who: Vengeance on Varos
A story which was quite ugly and squalid on TV, is much improved in the Target novelisation. It's still quite brutal and I wouldn't want every Who story to be like it, but I'm happy that the show can go this dark occasionally. By the time Philip Martin finally completed the manuscript at least two years late Target books had become a bit redundant in the VCR age. I certainly gave it a miss.The Doctor is forced to make a forced landing on Varos seeking a rare mineral to fix the Tardis. I quite enjoyed the tv version but I gave the novelisation a miss, which... Somehow falls flat compared with its televised counterpart. Some odd turns of phrase (and not just from the aliens) kept taking me out of the book.
