If any poor individual follows me on twitter, it's clear that I like this audio a whole lot. It's a lovely piece of character driven content for both Steven and Sara (most importantly the latter, who was criminally underutilised by the original run), with them stranded in England in the 1950s. I think it's impossible to talk about what makes an ordinary life so great, though, without mentioning our incredible supporting cast of Audrey, Joseph, and Michael - the incredibly kind and welcoming family that help our companions get (somewhat) settled in this new time and place. They're incredibly interesting and well-fleshed out in their own right (less so with Michael, but that's purely due to his role in the overarching plot that it's up to Steven and Sara (and the Doctor) to resolve.

My one criticism that I have of this audio is that it potentially tries to do too much, and then ends up almost doing too little. I think this story would have functioned well being slightly shorter, but closer to that tried and true 'pure historical' format. I'd like to spend more time looking at the similarities between Sara and Steven and their hosts, especially Audrey and Michael who have found themselves, like our companions, in an unfamiliar place. That, however, is not enough to take away from my overall enjoyment of this audio - and I'll remember Steven and Sara's attempt at cooking for a very long time. Maybe that's enough!
