However, we decided to give a fair chance to the Sixth Doctor and Peri story, The Twin Dilemma.

Find out whether we judge the story as harshly as the populace, or if we come down on the side of favor.

Plus, a look at another of the 50th anniversary e-book releases, Something Borrowed, also featuring The Sixth Doctor and Peri and the return of a favorite villain.

Also, a few news items to get out of the way.
