Doctor Who and the Ghosts of N-Space
The first Who from 1996 that I encountered: The Scales of Injustice, shortly before I watched The Movie for the first time.
My favourite Who from 1996: We have to acknowledge the importance of The Movie for providing a glimmer of hope, as well as much distraction. But there are a number of good books in this range, and I will single out The Sands of Time as an excellent fifth Doctor story. Honorable mentions to The Man in the Velvet Mask, Who Killed Kennedy?, Decalog 3: Consequences, Downtime, Just War and The Eye of the Giant.
Moving swiftly on from: The Plotters. Meant to be funny but I couldn't get past the anachronisms.
So, what was your favourite of the above? What is the best bit? (And if you like, what is the worst bit?)

You just don't do that. Wrong. Referee. You don't just dump that on the viewers and then bugger off (for a decade).
It's notable that although the Eighth Doctor is canonical this comment is not. Everyone's forgotten he said it. The Masters of the Whoniverse have disowned it. He was tired and emotional. It was the beer talking. it never happened.
