Still reeling from his encounter with the Cybermen, the First Doctor stumbles through the bitter Antarctic wind, resisting the approaching regeneration with all his strength. But as he fights his way through the snowdrifts, he comes across the familiar shape of a blue police box, and a mysterious figure who introduces himself as the Doctor. Thrown together at their most vulnerable moments, the two Doctors must discover why the snowflakes are suspended in the sky, why a First World War Captain has been lifted from his time stream moments before his death, and who is the mysterious Glass Woman who knows their true name. The Doctor is reunited with Bill, but is she all she seems? And can he hold out against the coming regeneration? Review: Arived promptly good value for money - Good read of the TV special with few extra scenes Review: Regeneration twice - As Doctor Who stories from 2005 onwards start to be released as novelisations it seems a tad ironic that the first Twelfth Doctor story to receive this treatment is actually his last onscreen appearance. However, it is easy enough to see the appeal of including a multi-Doctor story in the (re)starting of such novelisations. It also means, of course, that after all these years the First Doctor receives a new Target style novelisation; something that wouldn’t have seemed likely a few months ago. A slight drawback with this novelisation is that it makes it more apparent than the onscreen version that there isn’t a particularly strong storyline here and that the aired episode relied more on the fun of interaction between two Doctors. However, the novelisation compensates for this by making things more personally orientated, concentrating on character rather than plot. As such it does a good job of capturing the Doctor’s sense of frustration concerning his regeneration. In a similar way the novelisation suggests that the First Doctor’s reluctance to regenerate is due somewhat to his desire to see Susan again in the body she is familiar with. It gives the reluctance from each a bit more basis. Events are orientated at times, particularly early on, around the perspective of the First Doctor more. This allows the author to lessen the onscreen digs at the First Doctor for being sexist (something that was done more to create humour than being strictly accurate) by the suggestion that the First Doctor makes sexist comments as his way of winding up the Twelfth. It is also used to provide some humour as the First Doctor begins to think of the Twelfth as a ‘fop’ echoing his classifying of his Third and Second incarnations as ‘a dandy and a clown’. Working from each Doctor’s perspective also provides a nice dovetailing of the mutual respect that grows between the two incarnations. Bill’s life with Heather is expanded upon and there is some material from the point of view of Archie, both of which enrich the story. It is, perhaps, not the most exciting of Doctor Who stories but, like the onscreen version, it works well as a bit of a tribute to both Doctors. It is also written in such a way to give it a somewhat more melancholy atmosphere that benefits a story that features the last moments of two Doctors. And on top of all this, the novelisation gives a first insight into the mind of the Thirteenth Doctor. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 93,021 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 35 in Doctor Who 546 in Humorous Science Fiction (Books) 597 in Time Travel | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 382 Reviews | ## Images ![Doctor Who: Twice Upon a Time (Target Collection) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91TjO68wjGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arived promptly good value for money *by A***N on 15 September 2026* Good read of the TV special with few extra scenes ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Regeneration twice *by A***N on 11 April 2018* As Doctor Who stories from 2005 onwards start to be released as novelisations it seems a tad ironic that the first Twelfth Doctor story to receive this treatment is actually his last onscreen appearance.
