I just finished Keeping Up with the Joneses by Nick Harkaway, the most recent story under the Doctor Who: Time Trips umbrella.
It was certainly imaginative and I felt the Tenth Doctor was very much in character - in fact, the entire story felt very much like a Ten episode. So I think it'd be very good for people who love Ten and his era. Unfortunately I'm not really one of those people, so some of the same things (mainly the hectic pace and the rapid-fire speech, half of it random nonsense) that I didn't care for in the show, I also didn't warm to here.
Still, I do think it was, objectively, a very good short story - the best in the Time Trips series so far, certainly. Self-contained, with a nice enough little plot, and a very in-character Doctor, just not really for me. (That said, it's not that I didn't enjoy it at all - I did, to an extent.)
