4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting swashbuckling antics to entertain all., 7 Feb 2000
Mark Gatiss. You may know the name from somewhere, but you'd be hard-pressed to recognise the face.

As many Who fans will already know, Gatiss already has a cult following in the UK as one quarter of The League of Gentlemen, the BBC's bizarre comedy series.

However, the New Adventures series allows Mark to explore his real passion - Dr Who.

The Roundheads is certainly an entertaining read, with Polly and Ben getting to prove they're not really just the cheeky London characters we all came to know and love in the TV series.

What's also pleasing to note is that the author manages to capture not only the period well, but also Patrick Troughton's 'cosmic hobo' character.

A big thumbs up then, but keep both careers going Mark - as good as your Who novels are, we simply can't live without your pals in Royston Vasey just yet...

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh I say! What a superb historical, 14 Aug 2006
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Mark Gatiss indulges his passion for times past once again by sending the second doctor and companions back to the days of oliver cromwell. And what a superb read he produces as a result. Convincingly recreating all the main characters on the page and giving each of them enough to do, the plot never feels drawn out or padded - as many long tv stories did at the time - and it'll teach you a lot about history. I wasn't aware of the story of cromwell's son before this. But I am now. A great read.
