My joke was an homage to your joke

Am reading this. It's hit and miss. Not sure if I should praise or diss.

Publisher blurb:

"In this exciting collection, you’ll find all-new stories spinning off from some of your favourite Doctor Who moments across the history of the series. Learn what happened next, what went on before, and what occurred off screen in an inventive selection of sequels, side trips, foreshadowings and first-hand accounts – and look forward, too, with a brand-new adventure for the Thirteenth Doctor.

"Each story expands in thrilling ways upon aspects of Doctor Who’s enduring legend. With contributions from show luminaries past and present – including Colin Baker, Matthew Waterhouse, Vinay Patel, Joy Wilkinson and Terrance Dicks – The Target Storybook is a once-in-a-lifetime tour around the wonders of the Whoniverse."
