Family Ghosts

Prerequisites: None needed, although Albie's Angels gives context to a brief interaction.

Like Birdsong before it, I was pretty unimpressed with Lost Hearts. The concept is solid enough, and even sounds like some quintessential Who fun. There are some spooky moments, and the time paradox the story attempts is fairly well done. My issues lie within the characters: none of them are that interesting. For one thing, we're introduced to Helen's grandfather, but the story doesn't really take that link anywhere interesting. There's a moment where he expresses sexism, but it's later completely glossed over by saying he wasn't in his right mind. Compared to a story like Albie's Angels, this audio just fails to live up to its premise. Beyond this lack of real character moments, this is a decent story, it's just kinda underdeveloped.
