Joseph Lidster has clearly nailed Jackie Tyler’s voice, capturing her essence perfectly, and Camille Coduri is in fine form reprising her role. Together, they create a marvellous experience that feels like a slice of Doctor Who series one or two brought back to life. Everything about the piece clicks, but especially the humour and characterisation.

It’s a hilarious monologue from a woman who is, on the surface, slightly clueless, yet also deeply perceptive in her own way. Jackie is full of life and energy, and this story captures her vibrancy perfectly. Camille Coduri was born to play Jackie Tyler—she’s a fantastic actor who embodies the role so naturally.

While the story itself is strong and well-crafted, its true strength lies in being a wonderful showcase for Jackie’s character. It’s a brilliant character piece.
