این جلد یک شخصیت داشت به اسم رانی کا تایم لیدی بود و گویا از شخصیتهای سری کلاسیک بوده. برام جدید بود و کنجکاوم کرد برگردم و اون سری رو نگاه کنم.

Nice use of the Rani :)

Not one of my favourites in this series, but I did love the inclusion of the Rani.

My least favourite of the TV Doctors, but Hargreaves does a good job of distilling his essence into a few illustrations and lines of text. The cartoon of Peri is surprisingly recognisable. This book features one of the better stories in the series.

"The Doctoe and Peri were teavelling through time in the TARDIS, when the Doctor suddenly looked concerned."
The Sixth Doctor wasn't my favourite Doctor on screen. But I absolutely love him in Big Finish, he shines as the Doctor and I love his use of words. Hargreaves is far kore faithful to his character. We see a momemt where the Doctor corrects Peri- something that happens a lot and Peri condense everythimg the Doctor just said.
I loved the return of the Rani and I hope one day will return to nee who. When Missy was first introduced I thought that the time had come. Sadly this wasn't the case.

La serie Mr Men incontra Doctor Who ci regale un fantastico sesto Dottore.
Assieme a Peri e contro la Rani, il sesto Dottore deve raddrizzare il Tempo... la sua eccezionale intelligenza e la forbita magniloquenza avranno ragione dei perfidi piani della Rani.

I've mentioned how cool these Doctor Who Mr Men charactes are in terms of likeness, and whilst Dr Sixth is not in my top three, he certainly isn't much further down.
Just look at that shade of pink!
Even without his infamously garish coat (which, I hasten to add, I never had a probablem with, being a child of 8 or 9, who happily accepted the Doctor's dress sense, regardless), this character model embodies this Doctor very well.
And noting the inclusion of Peri and the Rani, it really must be noted (applauded even) the amount of time and effort taken to make Mr Men/Little Miss characters of not only the DOctor, ut of various characters and human enemies/supporting cast.
I'm not as big a fan as some of the monsters in this run of books, but this is no-one's fault really. I can completely understand how difficult it would have been to make any monsters outside of Daleks and Yeti that struck a reasonable mash-up between these two genres, without being either tootechnically drawn (and not Mr Manish) or not recognisable enough (not Mr Manish enough), so whilst I wouldn't say they (like the cybermen, etc) were great, I take my hat off to the effort put into them.
This book in particular picks up some of this Doctor era and plays with it quite cheekily, I feel. Some of the things Dr Sixth says are things I could just about imagine his on screen counterpart getting away with - some really brought a smile.
And maybe I'm seeing more into it than was intended, but the time technology described in this story really does fit quite nicely with some of the unfortunate technology referred to in this era (Megabyte modem, anyone?)

Dr. Sixth is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Adam Hargreaves and is a part of the Doctor Who Meets Mr Men and Little Miss series, which tells a story about the Sixth Doctor being trapped on Blue Planet with his companion Peri Brown and a renegade Time Lady – The Rani. Today is National Dr Who/T.A.R.D.I.S. Day (23 November) and I thought it would be apropos to read this today.
The text is rather simple and straightforward. Hargreaves aptly captured the essence of the Sixth Doctor's egotism fairly well. The illustrations are a perfect combination between the Doctor Who and the Mr Men and Little Miss universes. The Sixth Doctor depicted really looks like Colin Baker from the Mr Men and Little Miss universe.
The premise of the book is rather straightforward. The Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown were traveling in the T.A.R.D.I.S. when they went through a region of twisted time. In order to save the T.A.R.D.I.S. they must land on a nearby planet of Blue. Apparently, the culprit of the Twisted Time is The Rani, a renegade Time Lady that had hypnotized the inhabitants of the planet. In the end, the Sixth Doctor had freed the inhabitants, restored time, and defeated The Rani.
All in all, Dr. Sixth is a wonderful children's book about the Sixth Doctor and the perfect amalgamation of Dr. Who and the Mr Men and Little Miss universes.

As a child, I hated Colin Baker's Doctor. I thought it was the hair and bullyboy face, but this book reminds me that it was just as much his supercilious and pompous manner, as Adam Hargreaves captures perfectly here: "And the Doctor, who was rarely ever wrong, was right". This story was actually quite good, with a cracking illustration of the TARDIS literally twisting through time and space, but the antagonist's motivations were unclear and I was left a bit puzzled.

Doctor Who/Mr. Men collaboration originated by Roger Hargreaves.
I love this comical little series of books. We’ve been collecting them over the years. I’ve been catching up on the ones I bought for my son at Christmas.
Dr. Sixth becomes twisted in time in the TARDIS with his companion Peri. Landing on the Blue Planet, the Doctor must rescue the locals from the Rani.

Hahahaha! The author did a fantastic job portraying the least likable of the Doctors without making me hate him! Well done, sir. Well done. Nice of the Rani (and her corkscrew) to drop in for the fun, too.

“Dr. Sixth” by Adam Hargreaves
Opening line:
“The Doctor and Peri were traveling through time in the TARDIS when the Doctor suddenly looked concerned.”
Peri and the Doctor encounter The Rani!

Poor Colin Baker. Hargreaves captures something of the Sixth Doctor’s voice, and also his rather planless propensity towards grandiloquent bluster as a means by which to defeat evil (in this case, the Rani). Unfortunately, the illustrations in this volume are rather bland.

What a hoot! The hubs and I are finally reading this series I bought for him at Xmas. Both of us being Whovians, and me being a librarian and fond of the quirky “Little Mr./Miss/Ms.” series, we are amused.

i absolutely love how people are giving serious reviews pf this little series, while i’m just flinging five stars at them all.
did the doctor just yell so loud that it broke an entire civilisation free from the rani’s mind control? why yes, yes he did.

The Sixth Doctor faces the Rani as time goes awry.
A fun children's mashup between Mister Men and Doctor Who.

I love this series of books but this story didn’t quite live up to some of the others.

I enjoyed the verbosity of the Sixth Doctor in this though Stanley got bored and started jumping on the bed. He’s more of a Peter Davison fan, I guess

I’ve never seen any of the sixth doctor’s episodes, but this was a really fun book. Cute story and lots of laughs.

あらすじ
時間の歪みを感じたドクターはすぐさま最寄りの星にターディスを着地させると、ペリと共に歪みの原因を探りに外にでる。しかし怒り��満ちた地元民に囲まれてしまう。
感想
短いながらしっかりと”ドクター・フー”していて面白い。それにしてもドクターの同級生ってどうしてこう道を踏み外しまくるのか。

Not even close to be my favourite Doctor, but this one really catches how Colin Baker played the Doctor.
And this was a funny little book.
