My favorite story of Doctor Who’s sixtieth-anniversary celebration, “Wild Blue Yonder,” feels like a crossroads between the classic series’ sensibilities and the modern era’s storytelling. The Doctor and Donna arrive at a seemingly deserted space station, far beyond the usual limits of their travels. When the TARDIS disappears—thanks to the HADS functioning exactly as it should—they must uncover the nature of the threat and neutralize it before their time machine can return.
Mark Morris’s Target adaptation of the television story adds little in the way of embellishment, but it translates the episode effectively to the printed page. Morris has some sly fun with readers (or listeners, in my case), inviting them to question which versions of the Doctor and Donna are real and which are merely copies. That uncertainty heightens the drama, particularly in the second half, as events begin to spiral out of control.
Morris appears to take a page from the Terrance Dicks playbook, offering up a retelling of the television version without too many bells and whistles. It did what a lot of the great Target books of their era did -- recreate the story while making me want to revisit the television version again.
