Three for three on stories that set up interesting mysteries that don't really resolve as interestingly as they're set up. Like, it's still a good story, but these three have this weird vibe about them.

Love stories which feature a Time Loop, and this was used well to build the intrigue and mystery. The story was layered and structured well to bring around a satisfying climax, with likeable side characters, and the Eighth Doctor and Lucie still providing an interesting dynamic.

Bringing the Autons into the audios was also done well, using them in a way which felt authentic, without treading on familiar story beats. A good solid story.

This was great! Time loops intrigue, Autons, and some great moments with Lucie and the Doctor. Very atmospheric, almost felt like Chimes, had that same vibe to it.

Really enjoying series 2 so far. I like it much better than series 1.

4/5
