New Doctor Who Short Story To Celebrate The Moon Landing

12 Jul 2009

A new Doctor Who short story has been written to celebrate the Apollo moon landing in 1969:

Blue Moon is a completely new adventure that puts the Doctor slap bang in the middle of the first Apollo Moon landing. It was written by Oli Smith and is set during the tumultuous days of 16th, 17th and 20th July, 1969. The 4-part story will run on those dates next week with the first part published on Wednesday, 15th July.

Which sounds good. And then…

There's everything you could want from a story set during such a crucial moment in Earth's history - mysterious aliens, sinister US agents, a threat to the future of mankind and, err, BBC Radio 4's The Archers.

Which sounds erm, awesome? Probably?
