Review of Doctor Who and the Pirates by ThetaSigmaEarChef

5 February 2025

This review contains spoilers!

I very much enjoyed this story, and am giving it a 4.5/5. I like how it began silly and making fun of itself, with darker themes such a suicide and grief being handled tactfully. The use of the unreliable narrator (aka Evelyn and the Doctor making things up for dramatic effect (and funsies)) was delightful, and I liked the way the theme music was used as part of the joke, with the music separating the parts repeated at certain changes of narrators. Another absolutely lovely story from Rayner (and, after reading a certain story of hers that I really disliked, this very much restores my faith!)

Oh my, did Rayner just have good ol' Sixie call the Daleks robots?? Someone's getting exterminated!
