VICTORY XIX

The BBC Audio Originals range joined the Time Lord Victorious event with a Brian the Ood-centric story. Having escaped the battle with Eight and Nine, Ten and Brian explore the planet of Magnox, a Mecca for knowledge. Here, the Doctor seeks to find out whether or not his recent actions have been the right thing to do.

This slow story spends a lot of time fleshing out Magnox and its people and providing more characterisation for Brian. It takes a very long time until the story finally picks up, once the Kotturuh catch up with the Doctor.

Jacob Dudman makes this well worth a listen. He does a great job as Ten, and the other character voices are fun as well, not least his voice for Brian.

They mention Islos from the Daleks! web series! And I like that little coda at the end, with Eleven on Islos.
