Damaged Goods, 1996, Russell T. Davies
A lower-class family named the Tylers, living in a council flat, encounter the Doctor in an adventure involving a dimension rift and the revelation that the handsome male companion is bisexual.
Just sayin’.
As far as the “New Adventures” go, this is pretty good, hampered somewhat by the necessity of connecting to a larger storyline, the Psi-Powers series. Which, as I’ve said, I didn’t really care for at all. It’s probably more notable now as a curiosity, since Davies went on to become the show-runner and lead writer for Doctor Who. Which is slightly unfortunate, because that’s the kind of factoid that just gives fan-fic writers false hope.

Is there any way that you can tell who did the artwork for this one? That’s a fantastic cover! Except for the Nineties style drowning the dude’s outfit.
Bill Donohoe is credited as the cover artist. Likely this Bill Donohoe.
I loved this book when it came out and have been meaning to dig out my copy ever since learning RTD wrote it!
