You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Beautiful Chaos''''' is a [[BBC Books]] original novel written by [[Gary Russell]] and based on the long running science fiction television series ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It features the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Donna Noble]]. It was published on 26 December 2008, alongside ''[[The Eyeless]]'' and ''[[The Story of Martha]]''.

==Summary==
Donna Noble is back home in London, catching up with her family and generally giving them all the gossip about her journeys. Her grandfather is especially overjoyed — he's discovered a new star and had it named after him. He takes the Tenth Doctor, as his special guest, to the naming ceremony.

But the Doctor is suspicious about some of the other changes he can see in Earth's heavens. Particularly that bright star, right there. No, not that one, that one, there, on the left...

The world's population is slowly being converted to a new path, a new way of thinking. Something is coming to Earth, an ancient force from the Dark Times. Something powerful, angry, and all-consuming...

==Continuity==
* The novel features the return of the Mandragora Helix and is a sequel to the 1976 [[Fourth Doctor]] serial ''[[The Masque of Mandragora]]''. The Doctor not having had a decent Italian meal "since 1492" is, in itself, a reference to the serial. Reference is also made to the [[Past Doctor Adventure]] ''[[The Eleventh Tiger]]'', the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comic strip ''[[The Mark of Mandragora]]'', and the [[Big Finish Productions|Big Finish]] audio drama ''[[Sarah Jane Smith: Buried Secrets]]'' in which fragments of the Helix previously returned.
* Several references are made to Park Vale, the school which features in ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. The Tycho Project telescope from ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' serial ''[[The Last Sontaran]]'' is also mentioned.
*The Doctor says that astrology dates from the "Dark Times", and is shared by every species in the universe. This was also the basis for the ''Sarah Jane Adventures'' serial ''[[Secrets of the Stars]]''.

==Critical reaction==

The novel was previewed and later reviewed in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' and was well received by critics,<ref name="DWM">Doctor Who Magazine, no. 403, January 2009</ref> leading to one review to call for Russell to be allowed to script an episode of the TV series.<ref name="dog">((cite web|url=http://www.denofgeek.com/books-comics/5839/doctor-who-beautiful-chaos-book-review|title=Beautiful Chaos Book Review |work=www.denofgeek.com|date=30 December 2008 |accessdate=6 June 2013))</ref>  The novel was chosen to represent the Tenth Doctor in the special Anniversary reprint set from the BBC in 2013.<ref name='11books'>((cite web|url=http://scifibulletin.com/doctor-who/reviews/%EF%BB%BFreview-doctor-who-books-11-classic-novels/|title=Doctor Who Books: 11 Classic Novels |work=scifibulletin.com|accessdate=6 June 2013))</ref>

==Outside references==
*The Doctor says he saw the [[Apollo 11|1969 Moon landing]] at the Royal Planetary Society, having been invited by "Bernard and Paula". This is a reference to [[Bernard Quatermass]] and his daughter. Quatermass is also referred to by Malcolm in "[[Planet of the Dead]]" and a Bernard implied to be Quatermass is mentioned by Rachel Jensen in ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]''.

==Audiobook==
An abridged audiobook was released on April 9, 2009, read by [[Bernard Cribbins]] who played [[Wilfred Mott]] in the TV series.
