Wait? @handles is handling Audio Club now? Is this the AI takeover?

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @handles display help.

Yes, yes, the same old! You’re so predictable!

Where do I even start.
First of all, Iris Wildthyme. I’m in love with her now. Such a fun character that must appear on TV one day.

Second of all, the Doctor having such an interestingly ridiculous arc here is also so much fun.

This story doesn’t take itself seriously whatsoever, and it’s priceless.

Although, when it comes to the end, a certain guest-star actor delivers one of his best performances of all time with just one line.

I love The Wormery.

I’d go as far to say the Wormery is my favourite 6th Doctor story and one of my favourite Who stories ever. It is simply such a joy.

Hoping to find the time to relisten to this one soon :star_struck: :worm:

My memories of this were pretty positive but then I relistened to it for my marathon and it slipped down to a 2.5/5.

I’m listening to this right now. Almost halfway through and I really don’t know what to think of it other than it’s fairly “meh” so far, despite great performances.

It’s camp but there’s meaning behind the camp. I love this little stealth character study of Iris and the story itself is absolutely insane. Great time.

Because @handles posted this, there’s no tags and no way for me to add tags. It should have the story-discussion and sixth-doctor tags.

Well, you could add tags for starters, you lazy bugger!

I love The Wormery.
I think Iris and 6 have some of the best Energy, Iris, and a Doctor could have. Katy does an amazing Job here, like she always does with Iris, and so does Colin. Sure, this is very much a more lighthearted and fairly silly Story, but it does what it wants to do superb! I really enjoy the ending as well with Seven.
Overall a campy but great time!

Just finished relistening to this one. I loveeeee Iris <3

This whole story drips in atmosphere. Does it make sense? Doesn’t matter to me. It’s cosy, it’s silly, and it makes me happy. 5/5 as far as I’m concerned

Oh sorry, never saw this message because I don’t look at these threads until I’ve listened to the audios!

I love River Song but hate Spoilers :winking_face_with_tongue:

I decided to give the task of these posts to Handles because what was happening was I’d get notifications for every single reply, which is lovely, but it was bugging me because I didn’t want to see replies until I’d finished the story!

So I’m sacrificing a lot of Leaderboard points and karma to instead just be one of the “gang” experiencing these for the first time with everyone else!

As for this story, I really enjoyed the performances, and there were some interesting twists, but it kinda lost it at the end. Talking worms? What’s going on?

And I didn’t actually understand why Seven was the one being narrated to, is this something I’ve missed, or just a reference to him knowing Iris and perhaps following her adventures? :man_shrugging:t2:

A fun one, and I can see it providing a nice breather before Scherzo!

3.5/5
