Utterly indecipherable? Sure, but it’s still an interesting idea box and a massive step up from Forward’s last attempt.

I do wish it didn’t just assume you’d already know it’s mythology though

Really liked this one. Felt like a nice variation of the Earth evacuation lore from Season 12, and I love the idea of the Aboriginal Dreamtime as this big interstellar city.

It’s definitely messy and esoteric, but its story about the invasion and colonisation of a culture’s mythic space reminded me of Kinda and (bear with me on this) South Park: Imaginationland, in a good way.

Had to let this sit for a little. It’s weird. That’s all I really have to say. I like the Australian Aboriginal mythology element with the Dreamtime.

This was terrible, one of my least favourite MR stories yet.

It’s bizarre. I don’t even know how to comment on this Story. Better than whatever Sandman was, I guess.

I have an odd spot of nostalgia for this story. Its utterly dreadful. But also one of the first Big Finish stories I listened too after the Harvest.

My biggest sore spot is how its Hex’s second story and he didnt get a better first trip in the Tardis.

So this story isn’t exactly good, nor is it bad. It’s a bit of a mess, and it’s dull, but it has a good setting and a promising idea that it does nothing with. And it’s the setting and the idea that push it to the upper echelons of mediocrity for me.

6/10

Dreamtime is a story of intriguing ideas and a rich atmosphere that ultimately struggles to deliver on its promise. The setting is evocative, the music haunting, and the Doctor’s scenes with the Dreamtime guru offer some genuine depth. But the plot is thin, the pace is slow, and the companions are underused. It’s a spiritual odyssey that never quite takes flight – beautiful to listen to, but emotionally muted. A thoughtful but flawed entry in the McCoy era of Big Finish.
