A delight * SFX Magazine * There are moments of glorious Adamsian whimsy here * Sunday Times * Surprising, page-turning, fulfilling, satisfying and faithful to the spirit of that wonderfully gifted author who left us far too young * Doctor Who Magazine * Tom Baker's fourth Doctor is brought fabulously to life, scarf flapping, eyes and teeth flashing as he clowns around making flippant remarks while saving the universe * Sun * Something of a Holy Grail for a Doctor Who fan * Belfast Telegraph *
