Absolutely loved this! Great fun all around but the second story is definitely the best in my opinion. There's nothing like stories with queer historical characters and hearing the Doctor refer to gender as an archaic concept ;)
April 18, 2026
Twenty years after I saw my first ever episode of Doctor Who, I get to go on three more adventures with the Tenth Doctor and Rose, and much to my delight Tennant and Piper even pitch their performances to be similar to theirs from 2006.
As much as New Earth is an important episode for me, I have to admit that a script like Infamy of the Zaross would have been more in line with the attention-grabbingly outlandish season opener premises that RTD usually does and probably a stronger way to start series two, with its commentary on reality television that subverts the usual ‘alien invasion’ shenanigans having so much of his trademark quirks which confirms to me how effective John Dorney is at emulating the man’s writing. The Sword of the Chevalier from Guy Adams is much like a 9DA historical, going for a more obscure celebrity than the usual well-known figure (in this case the Chevalier d’Eon) and its casual acceptance of gender identity predating the TV version of The Star Beast by a few years elevating your typical runaround though it’s slightly more memorable than a handful of the Ninth Doctor ones. Cold Vengeance from Matt Fitton doesn’t have such ideas; it entirely banks on the ‘X Doctor meets antagonist/character they didn’t meet on television’ trope at the expense of writing something new or engaging with said villain, mostly composing itself of rehashes of stuff you have seen countless times - imagine if this had the intensity of the actual ‘base under siege’ story of series two that was The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit?
So a boxset that’s weaker as it progresses, but the novelty of seeing this the same week as my 20th Who fan anniversary gives it a boost.

What an odd follow up to the first volume. Three adventures here. The doctor and Rose do not figure into the first which is a solo adventure of Rose's mother Jackie. The second disc is just about perfect with the doctor and Rose adventuring in Earth's past. And the final is a by the numbers dud in a generic battle with the Ice Warriors. So basically only the middle disc is the only one worth the price of admission.

“It’s so small! Everyone I know, I’m looking at them now, everyone at the same time. Is this what it’s like for her, Rose? This is what it’s like for her every day?”
—
“Oh you’ve got guns, have you? Good for you, I have a screwdriver!”
—
“She is whatever she says she is. Who cares about gender anyway? It’s an archaic concept! Right now, she is a woman.”
The first story, “The Infamy of the Zaross” by John Dorney, is a wonderfully entertaining story with a ton of heart where we get solid characterization and a great demonstration of every character. Jackie Tyler is at the center of the conflict, and she finally gets to witness things from her daughter’s perspective. Rose takes charge and ends up saving the Doctor’s life, after which they both take on the issue together, which is fantastic because the Doctor/Rose duo works best when Rose has just as much agency as the Doctor.
This story truly felt at home in the realm of season 2, right down to the Torchwood reference at the end. The plot is funny and a little absurd, but it all comes together and makes for a truly fun scenario for the TARDIS crew. There’s even an interesting plot twist at the end! The plot is perhaps a bit too meta for television, which is why the audio medium works perfectly. 5 stars.
The second story, “The Sword of the Chevalier” by Guy Adams, was a very entertaining period piece with a suitable plot. The plot isn’t anything to write home about, but it was more interesting than many Big Finish stories I’ve read. The characterization is on point, although there’s no solid character development.
The character of the Chevalier was truly amazing to see. I love a trans/non-binary character, especially in a period piece setting. Doctor Who has always been pretty progressive with queerness, and the Chevalier fits right in with the era. She’s written to be overt and over-the-top, yet her queerness is never on display. It’s an interesting contrast to an episode like The Star Beast, where the queerness is emphasized wholly. The only thing that was meh about it was that she was written to be self-absorbed for no reason. She has enough redeeming qualities to make that almost forgettable, but it’s still a weird stereotype.
In the words of David Tennant about the true story of the Chevalier: “What an incredible tale! Why is this a story that has not been more widely used? Certainly it’s a perfect Doctor Who story, this story incredible character. Theres gotta be a movie, doesn’t there? Doesn’t necessarily have to have the Doctor, although why not, I am available!” 3.5 stars.
The third story, “Cold Vengeance” by Matt Fitton, was fine. There was no character development and the plot was mediocre. 1.5 stars.
This collection has reminded me why I loved 10 and Rose together. While Rose’s arc with 9 centered around helping 9 become a better person by helping him rediscover the beauty of humanity, 10 and Rose come to the stage with equal footing, both tackling the conflicts together and with ease since they know each other so well. Seeing that dynamic played out again was so wonderful.

Enjoyable set of stories here, not quite reaching the heights of Volume 1. The first story had a bit more of a comedic feel for me, with some quite amusing moments despite the overall somewhat dark subject matter and had a couple of interesting if somewhat guessable twists, . Nice to hear Jackie Tyler as well, plus a couple of Jackie's and Rose's friends in this, though at times I had a hard time differentiating the mother and daughter.
The second was interesting, and I learnt about a character in history I hadn't heard of before so that is always a bonus. The story itself was more of a straight forward one, but allowed for some good interaction between the Doctor, Rose and Chevalier.
The third one called to mind some of the good old base under siege stories with the Ice Warriors, with some good suspense and an enemy that was prepared to a few eventualities. The other characters in here were an interesting bunch, and I enjoyed one part where one of them more or less told off the Doctor and Rose for one of their behaviours. Built to a bit of a surprising but satisfying end.
David Tennant was in good form throughout as the Doctor, instantly recognisable, but with Billie Piper I did find it took me until the third story to be able to hear her voice as Rose, before that I had a harder time differentiating that. Outside of the voice though, the actual acting was as good as ever, and the stories captured their characters well.

Rating the whole collection 4 stars! The first story was the weakest and the last story was the strongest in my opinion. So it became more enjoyable as it went.
2.1 Infamy of the Zaross by John Dorney
3.5 out of 5 stars.
This was way too predictable to be that enjoyable. I still liked it though. It seems I will always enjoy the Ten Rose duo even when the story sucks. (Love and Monsters, anyone?)
2.2 Sword of the Chevalier by Guy Adams
4 out of 5 stars.
As always with historical figures, I have no idea who Chevalier d’Eon is. But this was fun! Also "Consortium of the Obsidian Asp" is such a mouthful. The aliens' characteristics are interesting though. They are bad aliens but at least they have dimensions and personalities.
2.3 Cold Vengeance by Matt Fitton
5 out of 5 stars.
This was the best out of all 3! I love the plot, the characters, the dialogue... everything! I love everything about it! There were so many twists and turns that I didn't see coming and all of them made sense. The problem with most of these stories is that they feel too short or too drawn out. But this has many strong characters who can carry the plot so well that you wish there were more while also knowing this is just the right amount -- a good amount -- of storytelling. It pulled me in and it didn't let me go. Kudos to the writer and the actors!

Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Volume 2 - 2.5/5 stars
Overall this set is just a bit boring. Rose and 10 lovers might find this really worth it but I thought the stories were painfully average. Infamy was the better one because anything with Jackie Tyler in it is instantly better than the rest of the stories.
2.1 Infamy of the Zaross by John Dorney - 4/5 stars
Jackie Tyler!! A fun little story that has a bit of commentary on the dangers of reality tv. Rose is great. 10 is great. The aliens are great. The side characters are fun. Jackie Tyler is FANTASTIC, the best character.
2.2 Sword of the Chevalier by Guy Adams - 1/5 stars
Rose and 10 go to the exciting city of… Slough. Honestly, this story was just kind of… boring. I struggled to get through it.
2.3 Cold Vengeance by Matt Fitton - 2.5 /5 stars
An unexciting and generic Ice Warrior story with 10 and Rose.

I'm more of a Donna Noble fan than a Rose Tyler fan, so this volume wasn't as enjoyable for me as the first volume. But it was enjoyable regardless. It has the expected format of a modern Earth adventure, a historical adventure, and a space adventure. Infamy of the Zaross is very meta in how the aliens in this treat destruction on Earth as a reality TV show. So this story joins Jimmy Neutron and Rick and Morty in that regard. Sword of the Chevalier is a nice 1791 story, and even includes a mention of my favorite series of Blackadder (series 3). Cold Vengeance might be the best of the three, and it is a modern Ice Warrior story. The voice acting is excellent.

2.1 Infamy of the Zaross - What a romp! This one really plays with the audience’s expectations. Tennant and Piper are is classic Doctor and Rose mode. Big Finish at its finest. (5/5)
2.2 Sword of the Chevalier - Another fun adventure for The (Tenth) Doctor and Rose. This one would have made an excellent TV episode as well. (4/5)
2.3 Cold Vengeance - Ice Warriors! The Tenth Doctor and Rose! What else do you need to know? Great stuff! (4/5)
This release also includes some isolated music cues and the usual, wonderful behind the scenes interviews with cast and crew

Oh how I've missed you 10. The quirkiness, the craziness, oh I have missed that so so much. Rose seemed a bit off in disc two and three, like maybe she had a cold but 10 oh 10 was on it. Plus the funny parts are still there, "Oh who'd want to watch a show about me, that'd be boring," a quote from 10 and you're just cackling along because of course we watch him and we'd watch him all the time if we could. A wonderful listen, wonderful stories, just perfect all around. I hope they do more.
June 11, 2023
Ahhhhh -- Returning to listening to more Doctor Who adventures as narrated by the Tenth Doctor himself, David Tennant! A pleasant listening experience, for sure. This time, he is accompanied by Rose, AKA, Badwolf. I enjoyed these three new stories very well. The only one that I don't care for as much is 'Sword of the Chevalier' which deals with gender issues. Anyways, still a great listen all around!
December 3, 2017
I did not have much expectation for this and I think it met it. Ten and Rose were the worst Doctor-Companion combination, and this does little to improve it. They bring out the worst in one another. I can't say for definite whether I can listen to the next series but it will be a hard pass if it is a Ten and Rose combo again.
February 6, 2018
This was just a huge and wonderful dose of nostalgia, bringing back all of the things I once loved about Doctor Who.
March 2, 2018
The Doctor and Rose fight Ice Warriors, aliens filming carnage on Earth and aliens selling people as slaves in france in the past.
February 7, 2023
Cute little stories. Not amazingly memorable but nice to hear Billie Piper as Rose again! And David Tennant was brilliant as always.

I love queer characters in adventures to the past

Infamy Of The Zaross - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A very comedic story here, playing to similar story beats as Smith & Jones, with Jackie Tyler providing the comedic relief she is so good for. Tennant and Piper slip back perfectly into their roles, and balance the comedy and drama that series 2 did often quite well. The twist is quite clever but once the truth is revealed the story just ends with the aliens just going away; this naturally being a bit of a cop out ending but the script manages to be witty enough to keep you engaged throughout.
Sword Of The Chevalier - ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
I love French history so learning about a more obscure French historical figure really did peak my interest. I listened to this more on the basis as a history lesson on the Chevalier D’Eon, but there is the usual action and drama of series 2 in there. The story is essential a history lesson with a few sword-fights here and there, and the odd, but very well done lessons on gender politics in the 18th century.
Cold Vengeance - ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/3
A story set on a place that is basically just Iceworld from Dragonfire, with some Ice Warriors there to give the story some stakes. I enjoyed their presence and definitely regard this as one of the better appearances in Big Finish but the story did lag for me with the side characters being quite boring. The story tries to make you care for this bank robber and her son, but they just have no personality so what is there to really get attached to? Rose has lots of agency in this story and manages to be presented as a strong female character without monologues about how women are so strong; something that was a frequent and unsubtle trend in the RTD era. The story goes on quite a while, but the plot is complex enough to have you interested in the themes and plot threads, without being fatigued by the runtime.

Infamy of The Zaross:
What seems to be a normal invasion story at first glance soon becomes a unique and clever but fun little story with great ideas and characterization. John Dorney has done a brilliant job replicating the feel of the RTD era and the cast did a brilliant job performing this story! 8.5/10
Sword of Chevalier:
A decent historical story with good characters and an interesting villain but overall a fun story that wasn't anything too exciting. 7/10
Cold Vengeance:
A fun base under-siege with Ice Warriors story! This was enjoyable throughout and the cast were really good in this too. 7/10
Overall: 22.5/30

These stories were a lot of fun and reminded me again about how much I loved Rose and the Doctor!

Superb adventures, a delight to listen to David and Billie once again. The sound design and stories were so well done that I could see it all in my mind's eye. Can't wait for more!
