Been a while since I last listened to it, but its fantastic.

Bleak, macabre and serves as a really thrilling and interesting bridge between Revelation and Remembrance.

By far away and away, one of the best Doctor/villain dynamics is that of 6 and Davros. It’s always a pleasure to see them square off.

I listened to The Juggernauts some time ago and remember liking it enough to give an 8/10. Really love how originally they used Mechanoids

Dalek stories have to really go out of the box if they’re going to appeal to me and The Juggernauts just isn’t that.

The return of the mechanoids is fun but the actual plot boils down to the sound editor placing the “exterminate” sound effect in over and over again.

This is a Perfect Example of an Audio that I should really like all Things considered, but it somehow doesn’t connect with me all that much. Wrote a Review to discuss it further here:

When I started listening to this, I thought, “Oh yeah, Colin and Davros together again; that must be good!” And while the scenes they share are definitely great, the story as a whole is just fine. I wasn’t bored but not entirely engaged either. It has good surface-level themes that it never explores more in-depth. And the Mechanoids are utterly wasted.

6/10

The Juggernauts has all the ingredients for a tense, dramatic, and morally complex Dalek tale: a shady Davros, a divided Doctor/companion team, and a twisted new take on the Mechanoids. But it never quite cooks. The pacing is sluggish, the stakes never feel high, and most of the interesting ideas – Davros hiding in plain sight, Mel unknowingly aiding evil, the ethical cost of programming machines to kill – are skimmed over rather than explored in full. It’s a functional, competently made audio, but with Big Finish’s high bar for Dalek stories this one feels like a missed opportunity.
