This is a rare story where I believe I can sort of recount the plot, without actually having any idea what the story was about. It made for a pretty confusing and yet incredibly dull listening experience.
The first part is probably my favourite, not in the least because Seven is my favourite of the three Doctors participating in this story. Maybe part of it is also not know what's going to happen next; after hearing Five in part 2 it became obvious that each Doctor would get his own part and then they'd all come together in part 4. It's an interesting concept, and on its own I don't have any trouble with it. I actually think it wasn't done horribly in this audio. However, it did mean that none of the part had enough time to he properly fleshed out. The first one felt the most in-depth, and in fact parts 2-3 felt considerably shorter than parts 1 and 4, but I'm pretty sure they were all about the same length.
I have to admit, I didn't realise the three girls were all acted by the same woman. I often have trouble telling apart new voices, especially when I don't hear them close together, so I naturally assumed that they were three different girls played by three different actresses. There were enough hints dropped for me to realise they were one and the same before the big reveal, but it did ruin my enjoyment of it somewhat.
It wasn't all bad, though. Some of the Doctor banter in part 4 was quite fun, and I really like the soundtrack. I already love Vansell, and I'm looking forward to hearing him again in the future. It's just the story itself that I didn't enjoy.
