Last week's Dr`Who

Late but.. wow.

That short section where they narrate the fates of the Family.. wow. Better than Gaiman. Was that straight from the novel? And the last scene.. I'm not much for glorification of war.. but. A wonderful sense of fatedness - or is it defiance of fate?.
This was really very very good. Yay to Paul C for the first really good episodes this season. Small sob.

There's a book? Can you elaborate for those of who don't read Dr Who novelisations? (Unless this is a Doctorisation of another novel about someone else entirely, in which case I want even more elaborations!!)

The two-parter was based on Paul Cornell's earlier Seventh Doctor novel Human Nature, which the BBC has kindly put online for everyone to read.

Complete with lots of notes from Paul Cornell, including how he adapted the story for tv.
