Review of The Crooked Man by BSCTDrayden

19 February 2025

This might just be my favourite 4 audio, or at the very least a contender. Tonally this feels more like a NuWho episode than a Classic, and even structurally it uses the part 1 cliffhanger that way and I love that. Baker and Jameson put in amazing performances as always, but this is honestly maybe the best I've heard Baker on audio.

The first part is tense and unsettling, but after the big twist in part 1 everything changes in such a cool way. I absolutely adore the premise of this, and didn't see it coming though it was well foreshadowed and it clicked immediately.

The villain is fantastic and great fun, and again a great concept. And oh my god that ending! So tragic and beautiful.

As always, Dorney continues to be one of my favourite writers in any Doctor Who medium.
