Cloister Bell Location (Potential Spoilers!) Bristol, Earth, England Synopsis Bill Potts has an unexpected visitor: another Bill Potts from twenty years in the future. Bill summons the Doctor, who confirms that the other Bill is the genuine article. She has come to see her younger self for a reason... but she can’t say what it is without creating a paradox! Moments later, the TARDIS Cloister Bell sounds. A damaged Dalek war saucer is travelling back through the time vortex on a collision course. The Doctor dematerialises the TARDIS to avoid it, only to cause the spaceship to crash-land in Earth’s recent past. When it re-materialises, the TARDIS is now in a world altered beyond recognition. The city of Bristol has been reduced to rubble, save for an interstellar rocket construction site and a top-security research complex. The complex is guarded by ‘Robomen’ and flying security drones piloted by Dalek mutants. The Doctor quickly realises what has happened. History has been changed, and the Daleks have conquered the Earth, enslaving the human race. He couldn’t be more wrong. And Bill is about to discover that her past, present and future are no longer her own.

While the story is good plot-wise, I found that it seriously mischaracterized Moira as a loving and caring mum who can keep a boyfriend. It's clear in The Pilot that she has gone through a fair number of boyfriends (at least somewhat implied to be ill-advised, too) and I just don't believe that she would be better in a universe that was worse. I also thought that it was missing the spark of genius in Bill’s character. She’s definitely smarter in the series than this audio makes her, which can maybe be excused in the case of Alternate and Future Bill, but not for Our Bill. Bill is one of the smartest New Who companions and is always asking very, very smart questions, and I just felt like this audio had her not quite there. In my opinion, the alternate history was a little overly heavy-handed, too. The first and second parts were a bit difficult to get through because of those three things. All that said, the story wraps up VERY neatly even by DW standards — very clever and thoughtful plotting on the time travel stuff that brings my review back up to a 2.5. Plus, the addition of sound effects and having Nick Briggs voice the daleks was a very nice touch.

It's by far the most mature Big Finish story I've heard in such a long time. And it's a shame it's not a full cast audio drama with Pearl Mackie and Peter Capaldi. But this audio book is able to play into its niche audience and provide a really adult Doctor Who story. And I applaud it for that. Like Liked 3 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
