I love the TV serial of this story. Having heard that the novelisation expanded upon the Doctor's coming regeneration, I was keen to see it incorporated more into the story - but it's only mentioned about two times in the form of a passing description about his ageing appearance. The first seven~ chapters made me realise how little actually happens in this story, how minimal the variation in locations is, that I now am questioning how I missed in the TV episodes. It's an okay novel for a good TV story. Weirdly it was a breezy read for me but I don't know if that's cause I'd rewatched the serial fairly recently.
