This was lovely, of course. It's got all of Terry and Neil's words, and some of the actors from the show, including David Tennant and Michael Sheen.

I ADORE this story.
Original hardcover I got in the 90s? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Martin Jarvis-narrated audiobook? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The TV adaptation? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

But weirdly, this fusion of the 5-star text with the actors from the 5-star show was less perfect to me. It just didn't grab me as much. Maybe the presence of some actors made me miss the ones that weren't there? Or maybe a full-cast recording just detracts a bit from the flow.

Anyway, this is still better than most books you could read or listen to, but if you're new to this story, I recommend the original or the audio reading by Jarvis!
