Review of Letting Go by dema1020

16 June 2024

I found this a pleasant enough listen. Maybe I can't quite muster up the same level of glowing reviews I've seen afforded to Letting Go, but it wasn't terrible either. I just didn't take away much from it as I expected I would have. I really like the idea of the Doctor and Charly visiting the family of someone who died saving them, but the whole Charley being in love with the Doctor thing definitely worked a lot less, in my opinion. It really feels like something that should have existed in a more concrete way in the main range as opposed to a side project like this, so I just think of this audio as kind of weird more than anything.  Still, to its credit, it stands out quite a bit from the rest of the Short Trips volume and was hardly terrible.

Perhaps my lack of warmth to this has to do with the fact that I feel by now Big Finish has done a few Short Trips like this and I like the others of this more sombre tone, like The World Tree or The Galois Group a little better.
