Nah. It’s pretty dull but not actively terrible for the most part, and it’s only six 20-minute episodes, less than a six-part classic Who serial. It’s perfectly watchable in one day, though I highly recommend finding some craft to do while it’s playing. I’m not going to actively discourage anyone from checking it out, I just don’t really think it’s worth the time.

Well I’ve already ordered the Blu-Ray, but only because it was just £4 and I think the cover is quite cool.
I’ll put it on while I make some LEGO or something.

That’s probably the best way to do it
Treat it like an audiobook and it’s better than sitting down and watching it

FWIW, I liked the novelization well enough. Never watched the vid.

Yeah, Telos has published 5 novelizations of direct-to-video releases:
Olive Hawthorne and the Daemons of Devil’s End
Daemos Rising
Sil and the Devil Seeds of Arodor
Mind Game (or Mindgame, I’m not sure - it covers the whole trilogy, at any rate)
Wartime
They really do exist, even though they are not listed in the TARDIS Guide yet.

Considering how much I would have preferred to read these stories rather than have them narrated to me, I probably would have liked the novelisations…if only I knew they existed before!

Sorry! I always assume that if I know something, then everyone knows.
Guess I should have said something sooner.

I knew about these but they get hardly any publicity so I kept forgetting about them. They were never on my to buy list either.

I’m two episodes in now. Both of them I put as 2,5/5 
I kind of like the title sequence, and the closing titles (though the song isn’t that good).
I find it really distracting that you can see Damaris Hayman’s eyes going back and forth as she is reading her lines on something placed just beside the camera.
And for some reason I find it so annoying that there’s narration during every flashback of other people saying the exact same lines at the same time.
The mixup of the effect of the guy in the second episode looking in a mirror while his reflection is shaking his fists but there were two sets of arms was kind of hilarious.
The story isn’t much to write home about, but fits the general atmosphere of the village witch first introduced over 40 years prior.
2 episodes in one go is probably more than enough at a time, the pace is really slow.

Just finished the last episode.
This spin-off was a bit boring overall.
I think giving these episodes 2,5/5 maybe was a bit too much.
And I’m genuinely confused about the ending.
What happened with her sister when they were children and how come she showed up at the end when Olive Hawthorne died in her chair? I have no idea what was going on there…
I’ve only got Sil left to watch from Reeltime Productions now
