This was pretty solid, overall. It was my first taste of Stephen Noonan as the First Doctor. It was pretty good - a little off-putting at first, but after a while, I really got into it. It didn't really feel like a good impression to me, but it did achieve the spirit of William Hartnell's original performance. Plus, it really blended nicely with Lauren Cornelius' Dodo. Dodo, who didn't really have much of a presence in the original show, is always welcome in Big Finish since it makes her more of a character and gives said character the opportunity to be in better stories.
The story itself is decent. There's this whole evacuated town after a ship tried to track down the TARDIS. Set in a post-war England with a military man recovering from PTSD, there's a lot to like about the audio and it felt like a cozy listen even with some of the dark themes about war and justice. What's a little weaker is the villain, who kind of comes across as a little cartoonish even if her [Sanderson's] motivations aren't entirely evil. Still, The Incherton Incident isn't a bad listen and has some solid ideas to it that I feel, overall, make it worth a listen if you can get it for a good price.
