Doctor Who: Evil of the Daleks by Frazer Hines
https://fromtheheartofeurope.eu/doctor-who-the-evil-of-the-daleks-by-frazer-hine...

Frazer Hines, who starred as Jamie in the original show, has produced an alternative novelisation, assisted by Mike Tucker and Steve Cole. The authors have taken the step of the framing narrative of the second (and last) showing the the TV story in 1968, when newly acquired companion Zoe was invited to watch it as an example of the Doctor’s previous adventures.

Is there a point? Yes, I think so; John Peel in his novelisation was trying to make sense of Dalek mythology in the context of the show as a whole, whereas here we have Hines and co-writers humanising the experiences of both Jamie and Victoria, giving a lot more back-story to the companions and indeed to the other characters.

One of the problems I have with The Evil of the Daleks is that quite a lot of the plot doesn’t really make sense. But the TV story keeps you entertained with the pace of events, and this novelisation does the same, from a slightly different direction to John Peel’s.… (more)

Hines Sight - The Life and Loves of One of Britain's… by Frazer Hines
This autobiography of the actor who played Jamie in Doctor Who in the late 1960a and Joe Sugden in Emmerdale Farm more recently is entertaining, though for me as a Doctor Who fan, there was very little about his time in the show, and rather too much for my taste about horse racing and cricket. He's certainly had a more active love life than most! 4/5
