Doctor Who: Immortal Beloved Review

Released in April 2007, Immortal Beloved was the fourth Doctor Who audio in Big Finish's Eighth Doctor Adventures range. It stars Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and Sheridan Smith as Lucie Miller. It is written by Jonathan Clements and directed by Jason Haigh-Ellery.

Big Finish's synopsis:

"Theosophy? Ha! Surely you mean theophany? Because we're not talking about real gods here, are we? We're talking about the appearance of gods. Your heavenly powers are a little too mechanical for my liking. And, if I may be so bold, Lord Zeus, your demeanor is not very godlike."

I started listening to this story expecting next to nothing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it's actually very good.

The story starts with a loving couple, Kalkin and Sarati, umm... Standing on the edge of a cliff, about to kill themselves. Before the two get a chance to jump, they hear the TARDIS.

The entire cast is brilliant and they all provide believable performances. Paul McGann and Sheridan Smith are at their best so far, Ian McNeice does a wonderful job of Zeus, Elspet Gray's Hera is very good although a little underused, Jennifer Higham's Sararti is great, Anthony Spargo is excellent as Kalkin and David Dobson is good as Tayden. Paul's son, Jake McGann, plays Ganymede very well but he only gets one or two lines, unfortunately.

I'm not really sure what to think of the setting as we hardly know anything about it, other than the fact there's a palace. I do like what I imagined, though!

I think the engine of incarnation is an interesting idea.

Zeus is really, really, really creepy when he's in Lucie's room. After watching his comedic appearances as Winston Churchill in Series 5 and 6 of new Who, I wasn't expecting Ian McNeice to be able to act so creepily.

My favourite non-main character in this story is, without a doubt, Zeus. An excellent, chilling, performance.

Some good lines from Immortal Beloved are:
"Your clothes have gone see-through!" "As have yours', my lady. That is why we close our eyes."
"I am Zeus. Lord of the skies. Bringer of storms."
"What is this? The planet of idiots?"

Overall, the weakest story so far in this range but still incredibly entertaining. Definitely worth the money. I wouldn't recommend it as your first audio because I recommend listening to the Eighth Doctor Adventures in order. Then again, if you're already familiar with Lucie Miller, you should understand everything perfectly.

Overall Rating: 8/10

Doctor Who: Horror Of Glam Rock Review

Released in March 2007, Horror of Glam Rock was the third Doctor Who audio in Big Finish's Eighth Doctor Adventures range. It stars Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and Sheridan Smith as Lucie Miller. It is written by Paul Magrs and directed by Barnaby Edwards.

Big Finish's synopsis:

"The Doctor and Lucie go glam when the TARDIS makes an unexpected landing in 1974. Slade, The Sweet and Suzi Quatro are Top of the Pops - and brother-and-sister duo The Tomorrow Twins will soon be joining them, if the starmaking Svengali Arnold Korns has his way. But will their dreams turn to dust at a service station somewhere on the M62, besieged by a pack of alien monsters?"

As soon as I saw the title and the writer, I was 99% sure this was going to be good. Well, it's not really what I expected, but I'm certainly not disappointed.

The story starts with The Doctor and Lucie landing in 1974... Then all of a sudden, they find themselves staring at a corpse. Excellent way to start a story!

The entire cast is great. Paul McGann and Sheridan Smith are good as ever, it's fantastic to see Bernard Cribbins - one of my favourite actors, the late Stephen Gately does a great and almost creepy job as Tommy and he reminds me of the kid from Planet of the Spiders, Claire Buckfield plays Trisha very well and Lynsey Hardwick does an excellent job with auntie Pat although she sounds very similar to Sheridan Smith making it a little confusing at times.

Horror of Glam Rock features what is probably the best possible Earth-based setting. Absolutely fantastic.

Some things I found out from listening to this story are that Lucie thinks the Doctor 'Always takes over' and that 1974 is as close as the TARDIS can get to Lucie's time.

I really like what they did with the ending music. Great stuff.

My favourite non-main character in this story is Arnold Korns, mainly because of Bernard Cribbins but hey. That said, it does feel kind of strange to hear him being such a bastard after watching him play Wilfred.

My favourite line is "Torn apart, just like my Bentley. Only less expensive to replace" from Arnorld. How horrible can a human being get? Another line I like is The Doctor's "Magnificent, aren't they?" - reminds me of the Tenth Doctor in Tooth and Claw.

Overall, a great story - recommended. Not exactly top notch, but still of a very high quality. Great stuff and certainly worth the money. I wouldn't recommend it as your first audio though, because I recommend you listen to the Eighth Doctor Adventures in order.

Overall Rating: 8/10

Doctor Who: Upstairs Review

Released in September 2013, Upstairs was the third Doctor Who audio in the eighth season of Big Finish's Companion Chronicles. It stars Maureen O'Brien as Vicki and Peter Purves as Steven. It is written by Mat Coward and directed by Lisa Bowerman.

Big Finish's synopsis:

"When the TARDIS lands in a dilapidated attic, the Doctor, Vicki and Steven discover they are on Earth, in London… in Number 10 Downing Street.
However alien forces are at play here, affecting the very fabric of the building… and adjusting the very essence of history itself."

Believe it or not, this is the first Companion Chronicle I've listened to, seeing as I've always spent a good chunk of my money on main range and Eighth Doctor Adventure audios. Naturally, I became curious about this little range of audio drama-like audiobooks after hearing so many good things about it and I thought that, since Steven is my favourite Hartnell era companion, pre-ordering this release might be a good way to see what all the hype is about. Well, it certainly didn't disappoint me!

Like most Companion Chronicles, the cast is made up of just two actors. A lot of the time, it's one companion and one random actor but this time, it's two companions and no one else. Maureen O'Brien sounds a lot older, but of course, she was (and obviously still is) a little bit younger than Peter. She does a legitimately great job with some of the voices, and I really do like her Hartnell impression. Peter Purves doesn't sound a day older than he did in The Savages - I certainly wouldn't have guessed he was in his 70's now! Excellent performances from both actors!

The setting of 10 Downing Street in 1900 is great, and the more you learn, the creepier it gets. Not the Chimes of Midnight or The Holy Terror kind of creepy, but still, creepy. I bet conspiracy theorists are going to love the setting and the storyline.

I think the villain in Upstairs is one of the most interesting villains of all time although, to some people, it's name is probably a huge spoiler so I won't mention it. It's very wibbly wobbly timey wimey near the start of the story and actually makes you think "How are they going to get out of this one!?" near the end of the story.

My favourite line is "NUMBER 10 DOWNING STREET, AHA!" - it doesn't make an amazing quote, but Maureen O'Brien's eccentricity while saying that line was amazing.

There are some good funny moments, such as The Doctor, Steven and Vicki walking in on someone in the washroom. Even if it's not very much, I always appreciate a little humour in sci-fi!

It's nice to hear something about the TARDIS food machine for the first time in a long while. Something I really like is how the story gives us some insight on what was going on in Vicki's head during her travels with The Doctor.

Mat Coward is just one of many new Big Finish writers in recent months, and if his future scripts can live up to this standard, then I know they will all be a joy to hear. Looking forward to more from him.

I highly recommend giving this a listen. Full of great ideas, great characters and great music / sound effects. Excellent stuff.

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

You can buy Upstairs for £7.99 download or £8.99 CD here.

Blink- 10/10

(I have decided to share this post due to the fact that Blink has a perfect score. This is really rare for me. Mainly because I am grumpy.- Rebecca White) 

A ten! Yes, you read right, a ten! The big one-zero. This is how you properly do a Doctor Who episode! This is by far, one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes.

Where to begin? It starts off catching my interest right off the bat. It keeps my attention throughout the whole episode as well. That is the way it should be. There is also zero romantic scenes between Martha and the Doctor. That is always a plus ten thousand in my book. 

This is really one of the freakiest episodes I have seen so far. The concept of statues moving when you take your eyes off them makes my skin crawl. Not only that, you can't even blink! To make things worse, they can turn lights off. You can't escape them! I also liked how you were sent back in time when they touched you. This creative villain was a breath of fresh air. I am so tired of the Cybermen and Daleks. It makes me look at an everyday object in a whole different way. 

The whole idea of having the Doctor interact through the DVDs was awesome. It was a good way to make it a "Doctor light" episode. It was definitely better than Love and Monsters. I really enjoyed having to gradually find out what the Doctor was talking about on the DVD. At first it seemed like he was crazy, but in the end it all made sense.

I loved how you got bits and pieces as the episode progressed and it all came together in the end. I wish they made more stories like this. This episode was really fun to watch.Typically I end up just frustrated.

Rebecca White likes to sit at home and watch Doctor Who with her husband Ethan and her dog Moomar. She has a cat, but she does not like watching Doctor Who with him. (He gets ideas from the Daleks.) Follow her on twitter @grumpywhovian and check out her blog grumpywhovian.wordpress.com. 

Doctor Who: Persuasion Review

Released in July 2013, Persuasion was the 175th Doctor Who audio drama to be released in Big Finish's main range. It stars Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, Tracey Childs as companion Elizabeth Klein and Christian Edwards as companion Will Arrowsmith. It is written by Jonathan Barnes and directed by Ken Bentley. It is the first part of the 2013 Seventh Doctor/Klein/Arrowsmith trilogy.

Big Finish's synopsis:

"The Umbrella Man is back. But when the Doctor recruits UNIT's Scientific Adviser Elizabeth Klein for an off-the-books mission to the apocalyptic final days of Hitler's Germany, he isn't expecting Klein's hapless young assistant, Will Arrowsmith, to be joining them too.

The Doctor isn't the only alien creature seeking to loot a very particular secret from a Nazi base in Dusseldorf, however. Strange and sinister beings are converging on the same time/space location in search of the scientist Schalk, whose experiments are the key to a devastating power...

The power of Persuasion."

So, the umbrella man is back but unfortunately, I've yet to see a positive review of Persuasion and so I started listening to it with incredibly low expectations. Well, I was pleasantly surprised and I actually think it's quite good! Certainly not as good as The Chimes of Midnight, but still, good.

This is the first story I've listened to that features Klein, and of course, the first I've listened to that features Arrowsmith. I think they're both good, likeable characters and I can't wait to hear more. I just hope Arrowsmith stops being so clumsy because it'll get old after a while!

The villains in the story, the Shepherd and the Khlecht are both very good. The Klecht are pretty funny with the way they destroy stuff, actually. "Heeey guys, good news!"

There are quite a few settings, and while they are pretty good, I can't say I'm overly impressed by any of them. Unfortunately, I didn't really get the feel of the setting that I generally get with Big Finish's audio dramas... It's probably because there isn't any great music or sound design.

My favourite lines are "Hello there, I do hope we're intruding!", "Looks like the first in line to punch you on the nose, Schalk!" and this incredibly long piece of dialogue from Arrowsmith: ''My heart rate has increased and I've started to perspire. I admit I didn't expect to find this so alarming, I have already passed through numerous peculiar rooms full of the most bizarre and unexpected things. I've seen cupboards the size of cathedrals, and what I think must have been a fridge freezer full of vegetarian food which extended as far as the eye could see. There are libraries stacked with impossible books, a cinema showing films in five dimensions, though I have yet to see the slightest sign of the Doctor... Somehow being here... it  feels more like stepping into a man's mind than into a real place.''

The title Persuasion is more than appropriate because the words "persuasion" and "persuade" are used countless times throughout the story. Hell, it revolves around something called a Persuasion Machine. It's nice to see such a simple, one-word title once in a while.

The story runs at a very nice pace. It didn't feel slow at all to me.

While in the TARDIS with Mr. Arrowsmith in episode 4, McCoy is very enthusiastic which is, of course, fantastic (oh hey, that rhymed!). When Hinterberger realises that Arrowsmith can record audio with his dictiphone, he sounds extremely happy. Very good acting there!

...And, since there isn't much more to say, I guess I'll let you find out the rest for yourself!

Overall, a pretty good story, but not without it's fair share of flaws. It's much better than people have been saying it is and it certainly doesn't deserve the awful reputation it has. I've heard that the next story in this trilogy, Starlight Robbery, is a lot better and so I can't wait for the chance to listen to that - the trailer makes it seem very interesting!

Not absolutely amazing, but not bad either. I recommend giving it a listen, as long as you're already familiar with Klein. If you're not, then you might want to listen to Colditz.

Overall Rating: 7/10

You can buy Persuasion for £12.99 download or £14.99 CD here.

The Light At The End Cover (Standard Edition)

Big Finish have revealed the cover for the standard release of their 50th anniversary audio drama The Light at the End. The story will be written and directed by Nicholas Briggs and will star Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann.

Synopsis:

"November 23rd 1963 proves to be a significant day in the lives of all eight Doctors…
It's the day that Bob Dovie's life is ripped apart…
It's also a day that sets in motion a catastrophic chain of events which forces the first eight incarnations of the Doctor to fight for their very existence. As a mysterious, insidious chaos unfolds within the TARDIS, the barriers of time break apart…
From suburban England through war-torn alien landscapes and into a deadly, artificial dimension, all these Doctors and their companions must struggle against the power of an unfathomable, alien technology.
From the very beginning, it is clear that the Master is somehow involved. By the end, for the Doctors, there may only be darkness."

The Light at the End will be released in November and you can pre-order any of the three versions here.

The Day Of The Doctor - Thoughts & Speculation

 The 50th anniversary of Doctor Who is now just 2 months away and the BBC has finally started making some noise about it with the announcement of something Doctor Who related on almost every BBC-owned TV channel and radio station to celebrate the occasion. Of course, the biggest part of the proceedings is the actual anniversary episode itself, The Day of the Doctor: a multi-Doctor story which currently is known to feature Eleven (Matt Smith), Ten (David Tennant), and who is believed to be the disowned Doctor (John Hurt) who the others look down on and don't count as being a true Doctor probably due to his involvement in the Time War. At 75 minutes in length the episode is written of course by Steven Moffat, directed by Nick Hurran, will be broadcast in 3D simultaneously around with world, and will have a limited theatrical release.

Before we've even been shown a trailer or any footage, there is still quite a lot to discuss about the special that can be gleaned from the poster itself. The most interesting thing by far is engulfed in flames just to the right of John Hurt's head: the exploding TARDIS from the 11th Doctor's first series. Moffat has confirmed in the past that he intends to wrap up various plot lines he has been seeding since The Eleventh Hour and the destruction of the TARDIS is probably the most obvious question that has thus far gone unanswered. Speaking of overarching plots, the words 'Bad Wolf' can also be seen on the poster graffitied on a wall to the left of Hurt. I seriously hope the return of Rose Tyler isn't that big of a plot point. Luckily, unlike RTD, Moffat has demonstrated in the past his ability to write Rose in a way that makes her less bitchy and unlikable. Also, the way John Hurt is shown on the poster walking away from exploding Daleks sort of confirms the fan theories that this is a Time War Doctor who committed serious crimes including the destruction of both the Dalek and Time Lord races.

As for returning Doctors, whilst it will certainly be good to see the 10th Doctor return, I'll be slightly disappointed if there aren't some surprise cameos. For example, now that David Bradley has been cast as William Hartnell in the docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time with a classic TARDIS set specially built, I think Moffat will make full use of his resources and give us a 1st Doctor scene. In fact, based on an earlier comment made about wanting the anniversary to look forward as well as back, I have a kooky theory that Peter Capaldi has been into the studio and filmed material for the anniversary. It would certainly explain why his casting was announced months before we'll actually see him in the part, and I doubt the timey-wimey side of Moffat's head would be able to resist writing a multi-Doctor story from the point of view of a past Doctor meeting his future self. Especially now that we're in the rare scenario of knowing exactly who the next Doctor is going to be before he's even made his screen debut.

As for the other classics, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, and Paul McGann all seem up for making a return to the show. Christopher Eccleston on the other hand seems a lot more apprehensive, making comments in interviews such as "never bathe in the same river twice" most likely due to the unfortunate disagreements with management that led him to quit the role after only 13 episodes. Now obviously I know nothing concrete about the circumstances which led to his criminally short era or the exact nature of these disagreements but as a fan it would still be incredible to see him return to the role and give one last encore for the excellent 9th Doctor.

I'm sure I'll post some more of my thoughts and ideas later when we have some footage but in the mean time, I have faith that The Day of the Doctor will at least be good. Steven Moffat has written some poor scripts in the past but when there's an episode be can focus all his attention on (The Empty Child, The Girl in the Fireplace, Blink, Silence in the Library, The Eleventh Hour) he generally understands the pressures on his shoulders and ends up creating some of the best TV moments of the decade. From listening to interviews he's given, it's clear that work on this episode has taken its toll on him as projects like Sherlock Series 3 have been delayed and once again he seems to understand the enormous expectations fans have so I'm sure he won't disappoint. He'll have put his heart and soul into making this one of his finest works. It's the 50th anniversary for goodness sake. 5 decades. 11 (soon to be 12, 13 counting Hurt) lead actors and countless supporting characters, writers, directors and producers all helping to tell one titanic story that has seen the transition from black-and-white to colour and has expanded from the television screen into mediums such as games, books, comics, graphic novels, and audio productions, each one a part of a never-ending story which due to it's central message of change and regeneration will probably be around to see its 100th birthday and beyond. This better be the greatest thing on TV until then.
