Just finished listening to this in preparation for the Gallifrey Relisten. Really enjoyed it. Romana is my fave <33

zagreus. zagreus. i am become zagreus. zagreus sits inside my head. zagreus. ZAGREUS

wow. wow. wow. wow. WOW.

This one is superb and sets the stage greatly for Zagreus. I love how much we lend into atmosphere in this early run of 8, be it this one, stuff such as Embrace the Darkness and so on. Really dig it.
With this one we get a very bombastic, yet abstract Story, which is such an odd combo, that works here greatly. The Timelords are used in such a great way, honestly might be my second favorite after the Way they got portrayed in the War Games.
Lalla returned to her Role of Romana, and she is as great as ever. As many already mentioned, that Cliffhanger is just excellent in every regard.
I love the weird Imagery, I love the Character work done here, and overall it’s just exceptional and like others already pointed out McGann & Ward gave such good Chemistry together in this play. Shame we didn’t get more Stories with that pairing.

Really, if anything, this is one of those Stories that I point to when making the point that McGann’s first run as 8 on Audio was such a good Direction to go to, especially in the Audio Format. I doubt this could have worked as well as it did if we had Visuals (especially since forming your own Visuals is such a lovely core part with BF, at least for me)

At a high level I loved all of the plot points in Neverland. It tied up the 8th doctor and Charley plot nicely and leaves you wanting more. At a more detailed level there was too much technobabble (both genuine and in jest). I didn’t feel it was all that elegantly written.

Definitely a must listen though, based on the integral stuff that happens.
