I do think it works better when the Doctor has a companion, and its something the 9th Doctor adventures have lacked. With Liv and Tania running into the Doctor they do fill that role. Liv I’ve heard before and I’ve always enjoyed Nicola Walkers work. Tania I don’t know, but other than being old friends of the Doctors you don’t need anything more to enjoy this story, there were a couple of references to stuff I wasn’t aware of, but nothing that impacted on the story. The flatpack shop is new to the area, yet its always been there and why are the staff masked? This isn’t the ‘biggest’ adventure, more of an interlude. Getting reacquainted with Liv and Tania, isn’t as momentous as the Tenth and Sarah Jane, but this is a post war Doctor and I suppose more could have been made of that. Flatpack is based on ikea, even referencing the fact that Ikea is intensionally hard to navigate so that you keep hold of something in case you can’t find it again. The sprawling array of furniture to buy, and as the Doctor discovers, not all is of the time. There is a part where you know what the big reveal is, if you hadn’t guessed already, and its a waiting game for the Doctor and co to catch on. Overall I enjoyed it, I do feel there was potential for a grander audio. Its not groundbreaking, but a nice way to spend an hour.

Really wonderful, clever plotting from John Dorney here making the system the villain. The system corrupts everyone inside of it and it is the system itself which must be defeated. The antagonists are only those who we know to be good who have been corrupted by the system. jiffleball View profile Like Liked 0 14 March 2025 · 42 words Review by Azurillkirby I haven't heard any of the stories with Liv or Tania yet, but I'm already a big fan of them here. Can't wait to get to their stories in the 8DAs. The story here is great, too. Typical John Dorney classic. A+. Azurillkirby View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
