Review of Fast Times by Shayleen

Fast times offers a solid and strong opening for The Fugitive Doctors audio adventures. Jo Martin gives a wonderful performance, I loved her Doctor from her first episode and she is just as good here, oozing strength and confidence, even with so much uncertainty and unknown about her past and herself, this incarnation feels like a powerful force. Martin is a delight to listen to. The Daleks appearance here is surprisingly well done, they know the Doctor, she doesn't know them. But she still eludes and beats them with style. It's not the most amazing story but it is a solid hour of fun that gives us time with this mysterious incarnation and sets up the status quo of her fleeing division, a pursuing antagonist in Cosmogan, Alice Krige giving a lovely performance, and while this is in a lot of ways just a Doctor Who story with Daleks, it feels interesting and like we are in an unknown era. Really excited to see where this series goes as there is so much potential in this incarnation.
