Why this must be read: I lovearalias 's writing. This story deals with the aftermath of The Next Doctor. Jackson Lake regained his memories but the Doctor's memories didn't go anywhere. Jackson tries to deal with them and then he meets a mysterious stranger. The language of Other Days reminds me of some Victorian authors which suits Jackson Lake perfectly, and it's a fascinating look at the Doctor from the person who both is and isn't him. It's wonderfully written, wistful, funny and somehow hopeful.
It was another eight days before he awoke as the Doctor again. There was an odd light to the West, and, when he asked around, he found that nobody had seen a single cat for the last fortnight.
The Doctor did not approve of cats in general, but he found their sudden absence suspicious rather than relieving. The light was equally suspicious. It was a bright, clear white, almost solid in appearance, and certainly did not belong in London town. At least, not yet. The two matters might not be connected, but both were clearly things he should investigate.
