Suns and Mothers (Short Trips: How the Doctor Changed My Life).

Prose  A simple story that echoes the TV Movie, this has a teenager borrow the TARDIS key from an unconscious Doctor, stumble into the blue box and find himself possessed by aliens which initially manifest as a pair of glowing eyes.  The How the Doctor Changed my Life anthology was the result of a Big Finish competition for new writers and Einar Olgeirsson (who shares his name with an old Icelandic socialist politician) seems like a worthy choice.  His Eighth Doctor is spot on and he more than fulfils the brief.  Olgeirsson later self published a couple of books on Amazon although I can't find any other online activity (across his blog, Twitter and Facebook) since 2018.  I hope he's OK.  He's a good writer.

Placement: The Puccini reference probably drops this early into the Greenpeace gap.
