Decent story, presentation not great

I go this book in part to hear how Jamie joined the Tardis crew. For that reason I am glad I got it. I have to say that although the story is fairly decent, I found many of the characters extremely annoying not least of all the two companions travelling with the Doctor. I have a selection of Dr. Who audio books and this is by far my least favorite.

The Doctor to the Rescue.

What a wonderful story. The last pure historical story for years. Patrick Troughton shines in this story, showcasing his great acting abilities. No wonder he was picked as the Doctor. New companion Jamie is introduced in this story, he will stay with Troughton's Doctor until the end of Troughton's time as the Doctor. Companions Polly and Ben also contribute a lot to this story. Proving what a great team this Tardis crew is. Great stuff.
