Publisher's Summary
Do you remember the '80s? The Rubik's Cube ... Duran Duran ... deelyboppers ... and the Cuddlesomes - pink vampire hamsters, the must-have toy of twenty-three Christmases ago.

For so long now, the Cuddlesomes have been forgotten, lying in attics and junk shops. But now they're waking up. And they want to give us all a cuddle. A long, slow deadly cuddle...

Landing in an England gripped by a strange new plague, the Doctor is soon on the Cuddlesomes' trail. But the toys are just part of a twisted plan to wipe out a whole generation...

Continuity

 * The Doctor talks about building a new sonic screwdriver. This would appear to place the events of this story before that of The Visitation in which it was destroyed. However he is travelling without companions, making it difficult to give it exact placement. He could always be talking of building a sonic screwdriver to replace the one destroyed which could place it after The Visitation
