Moonshine                               



Star Cops Mother Earth 1.7                               



Alcohol on the moon is the case in this episode. One man has already been sent back to earth for being in possession, while another is drunk on duty. Mother Earth seem to be quite and Nathan has to entertain a dignitary.


Martin, who was found with alcohol, was Australian so it was someone Kenzy had got to know, and as he was a little anti alcohol it seems a little odd. When they learn he killed himself shortly after starting a new job back on Earth, something doesn’t seem right, Pal and Devis investigate.


Paul is still recovering from the events of the last episode, and its possibly the reason for the visiting dignitary. Godfery Miller, who Nathan reluctantly has to show around.


One of the issued raised by Godfrey is the old question of whether the ISPF is worth it, and by this point how can they possibly be in doubt. It is an ongoing theme, but you wonder with the crimes that happen what’s the alternative?


For a series set in space they do seem to spend a bit of time on Earth (I’m saying this having heard 4 audio series). Devis and Kenzy uncover something more is going on after meeting an old colleague. 


There are a few moments of danger and peril both on the station and Earth, and it does expose the limits of audio, as the action sequences have to be narrated. Its a minor quibble, 



Its a good episode, fun with Devis and Kenzy, and a reference to how Kenzy was when we first see her in the original TV series, being on the corrupt side.


Worth listening to.

The Last Days of the Powell Estate The Ninth Doctor Adventures 4.2 The Doctor and Rose find themselves in the future, 2036 , to be exact. Though, when Rose discovers that the run down, derelict building they’ve arrived at is what left of the Powell estate , she starts to worry about her mother… It feels like quite a wait since the last episode. I’m not one for binge listening, but with Chris and Billie back together, you just want more. They meet a guy doing a video about strange places who tells the Doctor and Rose about an entity dubbed ‘ Mr Fingers ’. People feel a hand on their shoulder but when they turn round no ones there, feel it twice and you’re gone. The idea would make quite a nice horror film. It has the ingredients, the empty building, the sense of something unreal, people disappearing. The fact that once there felt the hand, if they turn around next time, they’re a goner.  The entity exists both in Roses time and the future, so we get Jackie and her friend in 2006...

The Skeleton Quay                        Jago and Litefoot 6.1                                 Jago and Litefoot arrive back in their own time and are immediately accosted. The Queen needs their services. Ghosts are seen at a village lost to the sea. So if you didn’t know or had forgot, J&L spent the last series in the 1960’s. Here they are back where they belong, but we don’t get to catch up with Ellie , Sgt Quick etc. As they're off straight away. So the village of Shingle cove was washed away by the sea during a storm, but something would seem to be amiss as J&L start to see ghosts and visions of how the village was, and someone is out to stop them. Its does fall into that trope of small town by the sea, 73 yards does it, the Stuff of Legend also. Not that its necessarily a bad thing, but it sets the tone for the episode. The sea, cli...

Doctor Who : The Lost Stories  8.2 - DeathWorld When this came up as a deal/discount along with Operation Werewolf it was too hard to turn down. I’ve enjoyed Tim Treloars 3rd Doctor and likewise Micheal Troughton’s 2nd. These two Doctors work well with each other so its great to have more. This was the idea that later evolved into the Three Doctors. With Frazer Hines unavailable and William Hartnell too ill to take part fully this is a chance to experience what could have been. Each of the first three doctors are facing their own problems, when they come together on Deathworld, the enemy? Death themself.  Katy Manning and Frazer Hines are the only original cast members playing Jo and Jamie. It is a little odd with the rest being played by new people. For me its Stephen Noonan who I’ve not really got to know. No-one has ever really ‘got’ the first Doctor, they seem to forget his nice side. Stephen’s version isn’t quite there, he does have some of the mannerisms, whether he’ll g...
