Review of Puccini and the Doctor by Saturn

15 January 2025

This review contains spoilers!

It has to be said, Matthew Jacobs really knows how to write the 8th Doctor. He steps back into the Whoniverse effortlessly and gives us an amazing story of transformation and music! I really enjoyed this story from start to finish. The premise we're given before the opening titles had me incredibly excited, with someone being transformed into a tree, which filled me with intrigue for the story to come! I was not disappointed by the remainder of the story, as the Doctor and Puccini's chemistry was brilliant, and Audacity and Charley felt like real assets to the story! I felt that Jacobs really understood the character of Audacity really well and helped realise her as well as, or maybe even better than, the previous year's Audacity releases. It's a great story through and through and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone! Also, loved the TV Movie reference ;)
