Perfect for old fans and those new to Doctor Who (I recently had two friends sitting around a CD player listening to it they for the full length), Spare Parts may well be Big Finish's best Doctor Who story.

One of the most fun things about Doctor Who is that nebulous feel about what is canonical, and what isn’t, across the many media the Doctor has appeared in (television, novels, comics, audio plays, stage plays and so on).
Certainly Russell T Davies wants everything involving the Tenth Doctor to have the option to be canonical, which is fab.
The Doctor’s comic exploits though stretch from the heady days of TV Comic’s Hartnell adventures and TV21’s The Daleks strip in the1960s, all the way through to the plethora of new series-related comic strips that we see in IDW's new book and  Panini 's Doctor Who Magazine and Doctor Who Adventures.
