TimeLord Victorious


Short Trips


Lesser Evils


On the planet Alexis a Koturruh woman arrives and begins to alter the lifespans of the various native lifeforms. Some one is watching.. The Master!


Again Jon Culshaw narrates this story, he does a nice Anthony Ainley Master and I was hopping for more - he gets the Masters chuckle near perfect.


As for the story itself, its a little slow. The Koturruh seem to be the driving point behind the Timelord Victorious storyline. So it serves as bit of backstory/setup. The Master sees to be acting for the good of the local intelligent life, the Mungello’s, and knowing the Master you are wondering what his plan is.


This audio didn’t have my full attention, so I don’t think I really understood the point of it. Also having not really experienced the TLV in any specific order, its get hard to connect the dots.

Missy Series 1 Part 3: The Broken Clock The adventure continues. In this episode the listener finds themselves hearing a US crime documentary. Impossible murders where the victim, recently killed has been dead for months? Its does take over fifteen minutes for Missy to enter the story and at first I wasn’t getting into it. I do feel that British should stick to British and US to US, as I’m never really sure if its offensive or not. I know I cringe at US Tv programs with British accents, interestingly enough it does come into play in this. So as you can imagine it does that docudrama thing of narrating and reenacting the events of the crime. And it is when Missy eventually turns up when the lines between fiction and reality start to blur. Suddenly we’re not sure if the actors recreating the events are actors, since they can hear the narrator and can’t see any cameras. There’s also the added meta of Missy’s interjections that play with Tv tropes. It does hold your attention, the mystery ...

  Doctor Who: Once and Future: Coda - The Final Act A year after ther Once and Future series ended, we have the last part. The Fugitive and War Doctors' are pitted against each other. It took me a few minutes before I realised I was listening to the War Doctor, I had wondered if it was susposed to be the first Doctor. I Have yet to listen to the War Doctor begins so this was my first time in hearing Jonathon Carley as the early War Doctor, and he's not bad. Jo Martin reprises her role as the Fugitive Doctor. The Fugitive of the Judoon episode was the first time in Jodie Whittakers era I sat up and took notice; something interesting was happening. Although, for me, the Timeless Child storyline isn't something I care for. But I am interested in where the character goes, however saying 'Yadda,Yadda,Yadda' was a bit of a turn off. It does raise some issues, the fact the Fugitive Doctor (and others) have been travelling around as the Doctor meeting people making friends,...

The War Doctor Begins : Forged In Fire Part 2: Lion Hearts A Timelord solider is being debriefed, her latest mission was to rescue a Tharil prisoner named Biroc, she thought it was a solo mission until another timelord showed up: the Doctor. I’ve said before that the War Doctor audios haven’t really been for me. Listening to the Doctor playing solider boy isn’t really my cup of tea. I’m watching The Deadly Assassin at the moment, seeing these old, dodgery, stick-in-the-mud people and then hearing these soldiers hell bent on winning the war is hard to reconcile.  I also feel that the Doctor shouldn’t just be a pawn in the game and should just turn up and do what he believes to be the right thing. In this he does more or less do that. The addition of Biroc - the Tharil from Warriors Gate is a nice touch but adds little to the plot. You feel that maybe there's a pint to it, that there’ll be a reason for his inclusion but none that I can remember. As with the previous episode, Light th...
