I somehow never listened to the Tenth Doctor & River box set before, but Expiry Dating is just so good, what a hilarious script by James Goss. The 6th Doctor’s answering machine alone haha, the letter from The 1st Doc, so great. I really like River’s overall plan, this is exactly like a War Master plot but with 10 as a pawn for good instead of appalling evil. There’s really nothing to say about Tennant’s performance, he’s never not been 100% on the money, Alex Kingston is perhaps incapable of a line reading which isn’t fun. Davison is very very funny (“I’ve left Tegan and, uh…what’s his name on Metebelis”). Sparkly, breezy, & delightful, a new favorite. 4.5/5

A fun if unoriginal Big Finish story. It largely concerns the Doctor and River responding to each other via space/time telegrams. There's an entertaining date with the Fifth Doctor and River, and David Tennant plays the Tenth Doctor's frustations at being used by River as a means to an end very well.

It’s cool to see some of the Doctor and River’s history that was hinted at in the show, but I still dislike River’s personality enough to make an hour with her feel like forever.

OH. MY. GOD. GIVE IT TO ME NOW!!!
