Summary: Silents in the nursery do not bode well for the future of Earth; luckily, however, there is at least one Time Lady who is willing to do what must be done. To tidy matters up.

Beautiful. This makes Mary Poppins as a Time Lord work, and still keeps her in character. Rather than being frivolous, there is depth and breadth and context. Good stuff.

Note: this has spoilers for Season Six of New Who.

So... what do you think?

Well I read it for its sheer weirdness. I'm not a Dr Who anything, but I loved the Bert and it was funny and sad at he same time which is very hard to do.

Ooh, off to read this one.

It read more like book Mary Poppins, who I disliked, even though there were direct references to aspects of the movie, and thus I found it very difficult to read. I can see that it has appeal, but at a personal level I strongly disliked it.

Indeed, I can see the difficulty if you disliked Book!Poppins... ah well.
