11th Doctor - The Gift
Good story. The writing captured 11 perfectly.
Scott Handcock never fails to write good stories in any medium.

12th Doctor - The Persistance of Memory
What a great final story really enjoyed 12s dialogue it sounded just like him in my head.
Can't believe it is Clive who met Rose!

10th Doctor - Loose Wire
Can't beat the 10th Doctor and was interesting to have a return of the Wire in a modern setting.

8th Doctor Ghost of Christmas Past
Nice peaceful story. Not an exciting adventure but still enjoyable. Was nice to see 8 given time to reflect.

7th Doctor The Grotto
Suprisingly I enjoyed this one more than any of the others so far.
This story actually seemed to have a beginging middle and end; and a goal!
It felt like they were things 7 and Ace would say!
The creature was really cool and just felt like an overall great, immersive story!

6th Doctor Fairy Tale of New New York
Bit silly how its got New New York in the title when story is set in deep space.
Cool how we get a Cat Nun story but felt like there was no goal and no actual reason to the story.

5th Doctor Sontar's Little Helpers
I don't think I'm going to be majorly impressed with any of the stories in this book but this has probably been the mosr exciting so far.
Turlough and the Doctor were able to easily defeat a new born Sontaran whilst Tegan didn't seem to do much apart from moan.

2nd Doctor A Comedy of Terrors
Was an alright story I do enjoy a 2 and Jamie story. Interesting to see the 2nd Doctor deal with a Raxocoricalphalapatorian.
3rd Doctor The Christmas Inversion
Interesting to see 3, Jo and Mike visit the Powell Estate and Jackie during the Christmas Invasion. Simple but funny story, interesting to see what Jackie got up to. Feels like Jaqueline Rayner half arsed stories in this book.

1st Doctor: All I want for Christmas
For a short story you can't ask for too much.
Not one of Jacqueline Rayner's best though, all her other stories and episodes are so much better.
