Fugitive of the Daleks- 9/10
"A wise woman once told me 'you're as alive as you want to be', so my dear Vicki, live!"
Just when I thought I was immune to stories with lots of fan service in them, I listen to this absolute gem. If you love the Hartnell era there are SO many moments in here that will put a massive grin on your face.
Positives
Fan pleasing moments: As mentioned above I can be quite cynical towards projects that are heavy on "hey look it's the thing I know". This is so much more, it expands upon and surprises you in the best ways.
Authentic fun: structure wise this is essentially The Chase 2. It gets the 60s vibe so correct. There is a specific comedy bit about two guys having to bulldoze a police telephone box and everything about it felt so 60s in the best way. Loved it.
Vicki: Maureen O'brien was delightful here. Still clearly Vicki but more mature. Some very nice emotional scenes in here with her.
Negatives
How did we get here?: This could be a me problem but I do not understand what set off this string of events lol.
