Review of The Time of the Daleks by dema1020

8 October 2024

After the last few audios with the Eighth Doctor kind of went over gangbusters with me, this one in comparison felt a little lacking.  It's still pretty good - I like how we are clearly building to something with Charley and the Doctor, while it also stands alone nicely as a Shakespeare-themed Dalek story.  I feel like this sort of thing could have gotten gimmicky very quickly but I found the experience mostly entertaining, even if the idea felt a little overdone by the end.  It doesn't help matters that the idea of Daleks posing as false saviours feels a bit done to death at this point, but, to Time of the Daleks' credit, this is a relatively early example of that type of story.  It worked for me more than it didn't and I would recommend this one even if it feels like a step down from the last few entries in the main range.
