Review of Out of Time 2 – The Gates of Hell by Seagullslost

3 January 2025

The second story in the Out Of Time set

Like father, like son-in-law.

This is another audio in which I’ve given a second chance to as I didn’t take it in first time.

My first thought was that this featured Peri as the character Tina, as she sounds a lot like her. Tina herself being some kind of time agent.

Doctors five and ten both find themselves off course and  in the same place. Time has changed and the Cybermen have taken over Earth.

There are nods to the past meeting of the Doctors - Time Crash. To be honest they get on a little too well.

I found I had similar problems as to the I first tried this, in that it was all too easy to suddenly be confused as to what was happening. Suddenly they’re in a library researching information, and I’m trying to recall why, needing to go back and relisten.

This has all the right ideas, the two Doctors, a time agent, Cybermen, an alternative timeline but it just didn’t grip me. I think that the Cybermen just aren’t that interesting as antagonists. The historical setting for this does’t help either (for me at least). By the end I didn’t really care what the outcome was, well we know all will be put right again.

The weakest of the three
