Identity Check is a pleasant enough adventure for Rose and the Ninth Doctor. It isn't exceptional but has Jacob Dudman narrating so you can't go wrong with that. It reminds me a lot of the Window and the Moor, a similar story also taking place early on in this duo's adventures together, and a similar feeling of it being just okay, if not exactly exceptional, either.

However, unlike that Chronicle, Identity Check does have some unique character beats to it. The Ninth Doctor encounters a being he relates to a bit, getting into his mindset around redemption and how one can make amends after doing the unforgivable. It's clear-cut content that fits the nature of New Who, and while it never reaches exceptional territory, in my opinion, it certainly was a pleasant listen overall. This feels like it would fit in easily with Series One of the show, right in line with the kind of quality we might expect out of something like Father's Day. And you could do a lot worse than that. It's also cool this writer is a Short Trips winner. I think Eugenie Pusenjak did a pretty good job here.
