Review of 'The Crafty Sod: The Wife in Space, Volume 8' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
It's Neil and Sue Perryman's last outing with classic Doctor Who as Sue watches through the stories of one Sylvester McCoy (The Crafty Sod) and the TV movie starring one Paul McGann (The One Night Stand). A series that started out on the web as a blog from one of the men responsible for the satirical science-fiction webzine and podcast, Tachyon TV, turned into a series of books with each one covering one of the classic Doctors. (With the exception of Tom Baker, the Mad One, whose tenure covers two individual novels.)
It was the the thing that got me into Doctor Who proper. Not just the classic series, but the fandom that kept the show alive and...I'll let Neil speak for himself about the rest. If you find yourself in love with the series, read these books! They'll provide you with a good laugh while exploring Doctor …

If you find yourself in love with the series, read these books! They'll provide you with a good laugh while exploring Doctor Who through the eyes of both a long-time fan and a newcomer.
Unfortunately, Tachyon TV is now offline. However, their blog on Typepad is still running and the site is properly archived in the Wayback Machine in case you wanted a glimpse (or want to give their podcasts a listen). There's also the Behind the Sofa weblog where Neil, his friends at Tachyon TV, and a few bloggers reviewed episodes of New (Doctor) Who until 2011, which was initially how I discovered Neil's work.
Disclosure: I was a Kickstarter backer of Wife in Space for three volumes (6-8) and as of this review am also a patron of his new podcast, Perfect Night In.
