You know why you’re listening to this one. She delivers. Jo Martin immediately shows dominance over the audio medium, being the best thing in this throughout, despite Jonathan Carley and Lisa Bowerman giving stiff competition. Martin is so good at being steely, cold and compelling, and when the script calls for actual warmth, she does that well too.

It’s not a bad plot either — about the two most morally dubious Doctors being manipulated into a large scale war against each other, all the while our hero Benny struggles to find who she knows is her best friend buried in the rage, sorrow and immaturity of these hidden incarnations. There’s actual substance in the three’s interaction, which is the thing Once and Future has been missing. Even though these characters have nothing to do with each other, we care about their relationships.

I’ve no clue what the bit about who the villain was, I think it was a reference to another story, but honestly it isn’t relevant to this story’s success.
