This story was unbelievably fun to me. Where can I even start?? Ten and Wilf’s sweet moments , him and Donna pretending to be a married couple (the amount of ridiculous pet names they used ) Everything was amazing! What did you think?
In complete agreement. It’s a favourite of mine. It’s not groundbreaking but it so beautifully captures the dynamic between Ten and Donna, Ten and Wilf etc. I smile a great deal when listening to this one. Then again, I generally really enjoy James Goss’s work. His recent novelisations for the renewed Target range have been phenomenal. The Giggle was a fantastic novelisation, playful and clever. So pleased he’s writing the new Target Lux as it’s perfectly suited to him.
I haven’t read target novelisations yet I’ll check them out!
If you’re new to them, I’d recommend (in particular):
NU WHO
Rose: RTD
Dalek: Rob Shearman
The Day of the Doctor: Steven Moffat
The Giggle: James Goss
CLASSIC WHO
The Pirate Planet: James Goss
City of Death: James Goss
The Doomsday Weapon: Malcolm Hulke
Remembrance of the Daleks: Ben Aaronovitch
The Crusaders: David Whitaker
These are selected highlights, but there are PLENTY of others worth your time. Enjoy!
Oh, and The Chimes of Midnight is being published later this year, written by Rob Shearman. The first of the Eighth Doctor audios to be novelised - and it’s about time! I confidently predict that it’ll be a GREAT read!
Sorry, back onto topic again.
Oh no it’s alright! Thank you for sharing these!
Happy to help. I just edited my previous post to add on an 8th Doctor novelisation you might well be interested in!
I absolutely adore this audio. 12/10 type of story for me, I love it so much. One of the best Doctor and Donna audio stories (out of an already strong series!)
Their awkward flirting had me laughing so much
Just listened to it.
What a delightful Tale! I make no Secret that I am not the biggest 10 Fan most of the Time, but I had such a wonderful Time with this one! Not only do we get 10 and Donna trying to pretend to be a married Couple (they are so bad, everybody thinks they are on the Verge of the Divorce), but it’s also a very funny one! Oh, and we get more of Wilf. How can you not love this Character? Hearing Bernard again is just so lovely!
The Story itself does everything what it sets out to do so well, at no Point in Time did I felt like it was rushed. We build up a splendid Atmosphere, and I was really hooked to see where we are heading next! Oh, and it does make a great Use of Sylvia as well, have her as well is just delightful!
What can I say? Really enjoyed this one! Not groundbreaking like others have said, but really enjoyable nonetheless!
This was a good one. It balances the humor and horror expertly. It was weird hearing Wilf again. Also, the other main guest character, Justin, is played by the same actor who played Trev in Joy to the World.
REALLY??? His voice did sound familiar and I was wondering why!
