I will vote for only those pairings that I've personally seen or read, unless
it's a really kick ass TV story in which case I will vote for the TV story over
the book, but no one will know I hadn't actually read the book, so it doesn't
matter. Never mind. On to the ratings!

The Mutants. And I've read the Witch Hunters. Easily the most boring Dr. Who
book I've ever read. Simply cannot understand how it gets #1 or #2 in the novel
