Doctor Who: The House of Winter: A 12th Doctor Audio Original
David Schofield reads this exciting original adventure featuring the 12th Doctor and Clara, as played by Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman in the BBC TV series
The Doctor and Clara are called to a mysterious, isolated house on a moonlet in the Asurmian Reach. There they meet the inscrutable Justin Winter and his two assistants, Joey and Carenza. Winter has called for the Doctor’s help: he and his friends are trapped in the house, all exits having long ago been sealed.
When even the TARDIS proves unable to dematerialise, the Doctor and Clara quickly realises they are as much prisoners as their new acquaintances. Strange blood moths fly around their heads, and there’s a strange whispering and rustling from the shadows of the house’s interior. As tensions rise, the Doctor struggles to engineer a way out - and a staggering series of revelations are about to be made.
David Schofield, who plays Odin in the Doctor Who Series 9 episodes The Girl Who Died and The Woman Who Lived, reads this thrilling original adventure by George Mann, part of the Tales of Winter quartet of stories.

2023 52 Book Challenge - September Mini Challenge - 3) Character Is A Teacher
This story had such an interesting premise - stuck in a house and unable to leave, with vampire moths flying around. It's literally something that I would normally love, but this just sort of fell flat

Full disclosure this story features two of my least favorite people in the Who-franchise (Clara and 12th), and if I hadn’t been driving I would not have listened to Doctor Who: Twelfth Doctor Tales: Twelfth Doctor Audio Originals but changed to something else – anything else.
What surprised me the most is that this story is actually ok. If it was featuring some other TARDIS-crew, it could have been quite good. Because the premise and twists actually works. In a way I am glad I have heard it because at the very least it has given me a somewhat decent 12th + Clara story.

If you would have told me I’d have listened to two stories that feature “blood sucking moths” as antagonistic characters this year, I’d think you were crazy but I have and out of this and a Sherlock Holmes story, I enjoyed this one more. But not by much.
The second in a series of four stories and more questions are asked rather than answered.

Actually only three and a half stars. Vampiric moths and a house that won't let them leave, it started good but ended rather weakly.

Not as good as first in series, but still a solid short story.

I really enjoyed this 12th Doctor adventure. David Schofield's impersonation of Peter Capaldi varies from Capaldi to David Tennant to a Scottish William Hartnell!
