Doctor Who: Squid Squad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hdHnqc5kS4
This is a fan-made presentation of a DWM comic story that is set between The Star Beast & Wild Blue Yonder.
Although presented here with the title Squid Squad, I read from TARDIS Wiki that this story did not have an overall title at all as it was made of four parts each with its own title.
This was released on December 7 2023 in DWM # 598, five days after the broadcast of the said Wild Blue Yonder on December 2.
Written by Alan Barnes with art by Lee Sullivan.
This story starts with where The Star Beast left off with Donna accidentally spilling coffee onto the new TARDIS interior setting the TARDIS off with the Doctor and Donna in it.
This has the Doctor going through various adventures including a couple of events in history and the filming of a real-life TV show and the menace of the piece, the said squid played its part in proceedings.
Game of Thrones curiously gets referenced here and this is due to a historical event the Doctor and Donna stumbled upon.
The filming of a real-life TV show included a reference to Glenda Jackson. This is undoubtedly meant as a tribute to Jackson as she had died six months earlier in June 2023.
The said squid is ultimately dealt with in this intriguing tale of what the Doctor and Donna were doing in between The Star Beast & Wild Blue Yonder.
The last sequence of this tale involving a heart-warming event in a certain someone’s life.
