Seagullslost's Doctor Who (and others) audio reviews

The Second Doctor Adventures                                      War of The Morai                                                                                 The Tardis crew are back at the Vanishing point, but so are the Daleks. I didn’t write a review when I first heard this, mainly because I never really understood it. I didn’t think I could write a fair appraisal, and after another listen; it's no better. The Vanishing point - not really sure what it is, but I never got a sense of what it was either. Other than some old buildings, I have no idea of the layout, the soundscape gives no clues. Is it a black void? A village? A spaceship? When we hear the Daleks discussing plans its assumable ...

Dumb Waiter                                 Doctor Who: The Companion Chronicles 12.2/The Second Doctor 2.2                    With Mother Earth apparently over and done with, the ISPF have their hands full. On one hand Devis investigates coffins that don’t seem to house people that actually existed. While Nathan and Kenzy pay a visit to the only residential building on the moon where a burglar has died… With Priya if off on a course and Paul taking a little bit of a back seat, it does put the original Star Cops members to the front. It is nice to have Kenzy back and this time a proper star cop again.  This starts with a scene from toward the end of the episode, and your given the events that led up to it. Devis’s case is somewhat straightforward, if the people who are supposed to be in the coffins didn’t really exist then there’s only one way to find ou...

Humpty Dumpty                                                                             The Second Doctor Adventures: The Potential Daleks 1.1                                             Unfortunately this carries on from the last set, my feelings towards the Conspiracy of Raven release are not good. It was hard going, unrewarding and having had to sit through it twice to try and get a hold on it, it wasn’t a pleasant experience. On one hand there’s a woman whose relationship with the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty is causing problems. On the other we find The Doctor, Zoe and Raven where we left them at the Vanishing point and like us, trying to work out what’s going on.  I spent a we...

Lords Of The Red Planet                                          Doctor Who: The Lost Stories 4.3                                                                                    The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe arrive on Mars way into the past, and they run into some familiar faces… This story was replaced by The Seeds Of Death. You won’t be surprised to discover that it features the Ice Warriors, and it serves as an origin story for them. Its sounds a strange thing to say but it is vey much a classic 2nd Doctor story. Part one sets the scene introduces characters while The Doctor and Co are off doing there own thing. We discover that the Ice Warriors have been artificially created...
