This story starts off pretty well with showing how the Doctor has been affected by the war. The characters in this story show different ways people react to war (time or otherwise). I have to say the villain really drags down this story for how cartoonish he is. Like in the span of 10 seconds he goes from “life is war and i need to make money so I will screw over everyone possible and even risk lives” to “i was wrong and i will forgive debts and not be bad anymore”. He was just unconvincing as a character and feels more like an afterthought to the story I do like the Doctor’s message after he leaves though and the way it was delivered Jonathan_ View profile Like Liked 0 1 April 2025 · 70 words Review by hallieday The Ninth Doctor #2 'Battle Scars' (2019) from Short Trips - Series 9. A really fantastic little Nine story that fits in really well with the tone of his televised story. His dynamic with the family is great, Briggs yet again really sells his performance. His mental gymnastics of dealing with the family's Titanic tickets is great and goes well with the character as well. Just all-round a really digestible and recommended audio. hallieday View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
