Prose Another brilliant entry from The Ghosts of Christmas anthology. Spin-off veteran Dan Abnett offers up a two hander in which the Doctor chases a cosmic wish-giving bauble to the office of the Home Secretary and finds himself comforting the politician's private secretary spending another festive season alone. As she outlines her years long platonic relationship with her boss, the Doctor reflects on how this reminds him of how he treats his companions and friends. A lovely, well written story in which the Eighth Doctor's personality shines through.
Placement: Early, in the period after his regeneration when it feels like he trying to make amends and discover who he is.
