I don't give refunds. Mostly, I don't even give explanations. But since it's you and we have a particular relationship, I'll make an exception... Now, where to begin?

Death's Head continues the brilliant start to the Kaldor City series with another knock out release and firmly establishes the brilliant storytelling prowess of Magic Bullet Productions. Death's Head also marks the return of writer Chris Boucher and boy is it a return that was well worth the wait in the second chapter of what's shaping up to be the best Doctor Who spin-off around.

Someone is spinning a web. Links are forming between one man's need for violence and another's desire for power; a desert ore processing station and a long-dead enemy of the state. Someone, maybe everyone, is being manipulated. Carnell is the obvious culprit, but who is the psychostrategist working for, and what could their motive possibly be?

The key strength of Death's Head lies in the absolutely stellar dialogue. It keeps you engaged from beginning to end with some very snappy, witty, clever and downright sinister writing, offering many new mysteries in this ongoing political thriller with some brilliant characters who aren't even the most likeable people around, they are just fantastical arseholes who are fascinating to listen to and engage with. The sound design and music (or lack thereof) are top-notch and the performances are truly spectacular, Scott Fredericks, Paul Darrow and Peter Miles are all amazing and the standouts amongst an already amazing cast. It's funny, smart and a mature Doctor Who series done right without any of the hiccups of Class or Torchwood.

Overall, I cannot recommend Death's Head enough and this entire range for that matter. It's probably going to be the single most consistent series of audios I'll ever listen to...

Taren Capel? The mad god of the robots. He was famous, briefly, but then, weren't we all?

Death's Head is a solid entry in the Kaldor City series, but sadly it doesn't quite live up to its predecessor. The story is interesting enough, and starts well, but after that it seems like it's mostly in a 'holding pattern' until the end.

The acting is great, with Paul Darrow giving his usual, deep voiced, performance.
