Maybe it would have been better is I'd read these as they were individually published rather than waiting for them to be published in one volume because reading them all one hit just emphasises what a mixed bag they are. The best of the bunch was Philip Reeve's Fourth Doctor story which felt like it would fit easily into the tail end of Season 15 and Neil Gaiman's Eleventh Doctor story which felt like an episode from Matt's first series. The worst was Eoin Colfer's First Doctor story which felt just totally wrong. Marjorie Blackman's Seventh Doctor story was interesting, posing the question of what would the universe be like if the Daleks were a force for good. And Marcus Sedgwick's Third Doctor story is worth a look too.
