Blood of the Daleks is a fun enough introduction to the Eighth Doctor Adventures. The introduction of Lucie is a little abrupt and very comparable to Donna Noble, but in both cases I'm not sure it does a lot of favours for these companions, even if they were both destined for great things. Overall, the story is entertaining to a degree, but does move a little slow. I like the whole premise and set-up once the Daleks show up as fake saviours - think of this as a far more polished version of Victory of the Daleks, yet it can't be forgotten that it takes forever for us to get to the stuff I most enjoy about this audio play. It is also pretty cool to have Hayley Atwell in the cast.
