Is this story essentially the same as 'The Seeds of Doom'? Yes. Is it worth listening to anyway? Yes.

It's got enough differences to work, and it feels really relevant, in 2026 as well as when it was made, almost twenty years ago now. I wish there was

Doctor Who by Bill Strutton

This is a really solid - if occasionally too long - story. At times nervewracking, at others funny, and at others completely bewildering that it ever made it to screen. I imagine if this was a four-parter it would be remembered much more fondly than ...more

Doctor Who Missing Stories by Unknown Author

This is a solid 60s sci-fi story. It gets better in the last two parts - the Drahvins never entirely convince as being either good guys or bad guys, and the Rills are a really interesting addition. The Chumbleys would be great for the modern version ...more

Such an interesting story, that's pivotal to everything that happens next in Doctor Who. This audio version is great, and Carole Ann Ford's bridge narration is perfect. Also, the vinyl is pretty. ...more

I've waited so long to listen to these stories, and Part One was pretty much everything I could've wanted from it. Part Two doesn't quite have the same impact for me - the Headhunter is a little underused, the Cybermen are definitely, and the resolut ...more

I read this when it came out, and I've listened to the audiobook a couple of times now. It really surprised me this time how much has been added to the TV version. I rewatched it in the middle of listening to this again, and I couldn't believe some b ...more

This has got all the strengths of my favourite Marples. She doesn't make too many appearances, and yet somehow still feels central. The crime being brought to her via her friend, and the two of them initially conducting the investigation together, is ...more

“It's quite an undertaking to start loving somebody. You have to have energy, generosity, blindness. There is even a moment right at the start where you have to jump across an abyss: if you think about it you don't do it.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
