FUCKING TERRIFYING?????

I thought the body horror I heard about would be the scariest bit but that sound creature was something else I turned down the volume like halfway because of that first “HELP ME” genuinely the most I’ve been scared of Doctor Who in like a decade.

I wasn’t too big on Eight & Charley until about Neverland where their relationship really got interesting and then some in Zagerus and now here they are just electric making me feel for both characters, it especially went into The Doctor into a really interesting way with how he looks at his companions in a bleak but captivating idea as Momento Mori’s, reminders of death and I can see how maybe after a certain point like Adric that’s how he saw them and it’s interesting to think about if The Doctor saw any of their later companions like that especially post-time war.

The way this audio uses sound too is quite creative not just using it in the practical sense but also in the narrative too like with the little tales of the king that throw away music and how the sound creature was used weaving the two together to create something unique (which could also tie into the body fusion and evolution stuff but I might be stretching it a bit).

Another Robert Shearman banger as always, that man is cursed to always write an absolutely amazing Doctor Who story I don’t know if the series deserved him.
