It is the one thing I don’t think that is better achieved in the New Series rip off of this production and again that is simply because Christopher Eccleston is so good at bringing the Doctor’s anger and lack of forgiveness to the fore but if it isn’t better it is at least equal to the characterisation seen here. The characterisation of the Doctor and performance by Colin Baker is at its height in Jubilee and aside from Jacqueline Rayner I would say that Shearman writes the strongest material we have seen for the sixth Doctor. All hail the glorious English Empire! Now that sounds like a jubilee worth celebrating, does it not?

With his beautiful assistant, Evelyn Smythe, by his side, he will fight once again to uphold the beliefs of the English Empire. Defender of the Earth, saviour of us all. And plenty of exterminations! But never fear.

There will be non-stop high octane mayhem in store. And when those pesky pepperpots are in town, there is one thing you can be sure of. Maybe this time because they want to drill to the Earth's core. With this book, Who fans will feel that they’re watching along with Shearman (World Fantasy Award winner, Hugo Award nominee and writer on the new Doctor Who) and Hadoke (renowned stage performer for his one-man comedy show, “Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf”) as they make their “grand journey” through the world’s most wonderful and longest-running drama series.What’s it about: Hurrah! The deadly Daleks are back! Yes, those loveable tinpot tyrants have another plan to invade our world. This three-volume series contains Shearman and Hadoke’s diary of that experience – a grand opus of their wry observations about the show, their desire to see the good in every story, and their chronicle of the real-life changes to Who in that year. In Running Through Corridors, two Doctor Who lovers of old – Robert Shearman and Toby Hadoke – embark on an epic quest of friendship: spend the “gap year” of 2009 (when Doctor Who consisted of a handful of specials rather than a full season) re-watching the whole of Who two episodes a day, every day, from the show’s start in 1963 and ending with David Tennant’s swan song on New Year’s, 2010.
