In the first story, a device sends Peri into a world where vegetables recreate Wonderland (with the Doctor trying to escape a diet–hopefully his next companion won’t be a “health nut”). In the other, a shapeshifter besides Frobisher has snuck aboard the TARDIS.

What they got right: I really liked the second story. We got a look around the TARDIS and saw rooms that wouldn’t be possible on TV, at least in live-action, and the threat is classic Who.

What they got wrong: Vegetables recreating Wonderland? VeggieTales this isn’t.

Recommendation: Worth it for the second story, which I have uncolored in a different reprint. The color doesn’t add or detract so it’s really your choice on which one you track down.
