An okay comedy story. After reading reviews of it on Tardis Guide I had pretty low expectations, and I think it was for the better as I was pleasantly surprised

This wasn’t actually that bad. It was repetitive, which did get a bit annoying towards the end, but I found it pretty entertaining overall.

This was my original review. It still stands as my opinion:

For the benefit of the listeners, don’t bother. The plot is OK, but the dialogue is repetitive and not funny.

Echoing what @VoRus1 said, a perfectly fine comedy Story. I don’t think it was as bad as some Reviews may suggest, but really it’s just nothing too remarkable, is it? The Dialogue is repetitive at times, which can be annoying, but really it’s so short that I can look past it. Bowerman does a great Job, as always, who would have thought? Didn’t find the comedic Bits hilarious, which was the intent of them, but oh well, again due to its short Nature, it really doesn’t bother me as much compared if it was a full Hour.

I found the radio show chat format quite interesting, and this was one of my first Benny stories as I was listening in order so it was good to hear some of her, but ultimately it was a bit of a letdown with the jokes not very funny, so I rated it 3/5.

This episode is like, fine. It’s a fine enough way to spend half an hour on the bus of a morning. It’s amusing in places. I love the Pakhars, I think they’re fun, and as always I ADOREEE Benny so, could have been worse. Could also have been funnier too, but you can’t win them all

Meh. That’s how I’d describe this story. Not memorable, not funny, and not very engaging. It’s perfectly fine, but perhaps a bit boring.

:memo:48/100

Making Myths tries to be a light and quirky comedy, but despite strong performances from Lisa Bowerman and Sarah Mowat, it never finds enough story or humour to justify a revisit. The growing bond between Benny and Keri is sweet, but the weak plot, strained jokes, and flat atmosphere make this a forgettable outing. A harmless but slight beginning to Big Finish’s original Benny adventures.
