Finally I finished the memory loss arc, out of order which made it more confusing than it could have been

This part was really good, imo it's a better version of New Earth from 10's run. And finding out what happens before the other stories was pretty satisfying as well

This is the first story of Zoe Heriot's company arc, which I have heard many good things about and decided to check out with the recent Companion Chronicles sale. As a first story, it is quite dull. The ploy that Ali tries to pull is laughably obvious, though the mention of the company is interesting enough. The rest of the story does the title justice: Zoe is experiencing recovered memories, Echoes of a Grey base with uninteresting people and a basic dilemma. The only interesting things are the achromatics, though I found the reason for their name unnecessarily convoluted. The beginning and ending try to invoke pathos in how Zoe's missing memories affect her and then her bravery of saying no, but this is shot in the foot by the fact that very little of the rest of the play gives this angle any attention.

In the end, I wouldn't say this one worked very well. I hope the rest of the arc is better.

A hospital can be a great horror setting, and it is particularly eery here. John Dorney is great as always. There's something a bit generic about the monsters, but I still found them compelling nonetheless.
A. Maybe A+.

In this story an old Zoe is reminded of something she's forgotton - a woman called Ali she once met when Zoe travelled with the Doctor?

The TARDIS team arrive in a medical facility, where they find the Achromatics - beings that can absorb diseases, but its never that straight forward is it?

A Zoe story with Wendy Padbury. Her Scottish accent for Jamie isn't quite the one Jamie has, her second Doctor impersonation is quite good at times.

Another story told in present tense, 'He moves to the table', ''wait' 'I shout' - Its not something I'm fond of.

I enjoyed this, but now its a week since I listened and have only just found the time to write and I'm struggling to remember much about it.
