Time Trips: The Anti Hero by Stella Duffy

This latest Time Trips short story features Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor and his companions Jamie & Zoe. The TARDIS takes them to the Museaum at Alexandria but as usual something weird is going on.

The story revolves around the Muses from Greek myth and it's the typical Doctor Who thing of explaining myths through science-fiction. 

The three leads are portrayed reasonably well and Zoe feels more like an equal than she often did on the screen.

The big problem here is the length. The Time Trips series are short stories and Duffy almost has enough material for a whole Doctor Who novel here. The plot is whizzed through and it would have been nice to see the characters explore more of the interesting setting.

It's far from the worst of the series and it's great to see the Second Doctor team again but I would have liked to have read the story in a longer format.
