Relative Time

Part four in the Legacy Of Time release

Having recently listened to The Gates of Hell, with Peter Davison and David Tennant - father and son in law. It now its father and daughter, with Peter Davison and Georgia Tennant (Jenny) .

Aside from the tv episode she was in, there’s only one other audio I’ve heard her in which was the Once and Future set. I wondered at the time how the fifth Doctor was aware of Jenny, well, now I know!

Jenny is on board a time cruiser, which is where the Doctor finds her. There has been some kind of time explosion, what more the Nine is there too.

I didn’t get to listen to this in one go or at least a couple of goes. But the plot wasn’t as interesting as the first couple in this series. More like the previous instalment, its more about the characters. It is real life father and daughter playing father and daughter, so its quite nice.

The Nine (or whichever incarnation is the current) is an interesting character, and makes use of Timelord anomalies better than the bi-regeneration did/does. But I didn’t feel the character really added much to the story.

There are references to Vortisaurs, quite a nice hark back to Storm Warning.

Overall this was nice but uninspiring.

The Founding Fathers                                                       The Companion Chronicles  The First Doctor 1.3                                         Steven’s grand daughter takes him to visit the Doctor, yet its not the actual Doctor. There they tell a story of an adventure they once had where they met Benjamin Franklin. So perhaps a little more unusual, in that what’s happening with the current Steven is as, if not more interesting, as the story that’s being narrated. The narrated story tells of the TARDIS arriving in Leicester in 1762. With it being quite warm, the Doctor takes off his coat and throws to back into the TARDIS inadvertently locking the crew out. Getting back in is a little tricky and the only man that can help is Benjamin...

Power Game  Doctor Who the Monthly Range 248b Kamelion has been missing for three weeks, its York, the 1980’s and that’s just the beginning. This hits the ground running, but not only has Kamelion gone but now they’ve lost Tegan as well. Tegan herself finds she’s on a TV gameshow, how she got there is a bit of a mystery as she no idea how shearrived. The show pops up at various times on different channels in the middle of other programs. It’s a good start, no faffing about and with this a two parter that’s probably a good idea. The Tv show gives contestants challenges, when they fail they’re out, interestingly enough there are no prizes, and the contestants soon forget about their real lives.  It’ll be no surprise that the gameshow isn’t real and is a veneer for what’s really going on. We’ve had stories such as this before so you know what the deal is and you’re waiting for the big reveal. The Doctor and Turlough happen to find someone else who was taken by the game, and set t...

The Quest of the Engineer                                     The Fourth Doctor Adventures 9.4                                               On a planet that reconfigures it surface, the Doctor, Romana, Adric and K9 are seeking info on a CVE. They encounter the ‘Engineer’ who is also interested in CVE’s, though there is more to him and the planet than at first seems. I had to check that I had started with part one, as it begins with Adic having been arrested for taking K9 though the streets where technology is forbidden. They meet Rigis Tel played by George Layton (perhaps more noted in DW circles as being the Space pirates) and go on to find the truth about the planet. As for the plot… Well it is tempting to say what plot. The planet is… mild spoiler… a giant space ship. Being a Hitch...
