Really enjoyed this!

Whilst listening I was reminded of a recent featurette between Moff and RTD where the latter says that a classic whodunit is too small an idea for Doctor Who now. Which I completely disagree with, so it was great to get back to basics almost with this Big Finish debut.

I actually didn't see the twist coming either so I found that to be an incredibly fun reveal!

Whittaker and Gill are on top form here though, which was my main takeaway. Already I am excited to see where this relationship between the two of them goes throughout the forthcoming episodes. The basement scene in particular was a highlight, as well as Yaz confessing that she doesn't know how to navigate her relationship with the Doctor when she gets distracted now that Ryan and Graham are absent. Which in turn makes Dan's introduction later seem more meaningful for her, especially since many have commented he's more like Yaz's companion than 13's.

This, and the Doctor getting 'in the zone' to fix the lights all heavily point towards this Doctor having ADHD, so I liked the reversal that the Doctor actually is always present but doesn't know how to respond in situations and so acts as if her mind is elsewhere.

It's a really interesting trait for the Doctor which I think better portrays her social awkwardness (and maybe even anxieties - she seems to need validation and reassurance Yaz still wants to travel with her at the end) than what we got on TV and I hope gets explored further.

Overall, it's a strong start. It's not setting the world alight but I really had fun and it has already started to develop 13 and Yaz further, which is exactly what I was looking for with these stories.
