This is a very good opening to a (hopefully) very good era. Although it doesn't start out promising with a generic prison story it quickly picks up the pace into a mad dash that is a crazy fun listen. The last 20 minutes are incredibly good. All the vocal performances are on point as well, with Martin being as incredible as she was on the TV Show and new-comer Alice Krige is great as the more professional foil to Martin's doctor.

Still, it's not without fault, the biggest of which is that it's just Doctor Who. It's good Doctor Who, but Doctor Who none the less. Which may seem like an odd complaint about a Doctor Who audio but it raises the question of what is the point of the Fugitive as an incarnation. She's still a time lord who travels around the universe in a TARDIS while fighting daleks and has a seemingly encyclopaedic knowledge of Earth history. So why is she a pre-Hartnell doctor, and not an Unbound, or a future one, or something else. None of the potential of having a pre-Hartnell doctor is realised and it leaves me slightly disappointed at what could have been.

Still, the story is good, and the Doctor is incredible, so I will be returning to this range. I'd highly recommend it as well, it's just a shame as it could've been a bit more interesting.
