Review of Special Features by thedefinitearticle63

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: Doing Time


I love Big Finish stories with experimental formats and this is an incredible example of that. Framing it as an audio commentary is just genius. It leads to so many funny moments and perfectly captures how bland so many audio commentaries actually are. The format elevates what would probably be a fairly mediocre story into something great.

The cast here especially are on top form. All of them sell their supposed roles really well. The only issue I had with this story, and it's a fairly minor one, is that the background music was really off-putting and intrusive in a lot of the story. It seems like it's supposed to be part of the soundtrack of the movie they're watching but it just feels like a generic Big Finish score and doesn't fit at all with the DVD commentary style.


Next Story: 1001 Nights (My Brother's Keeper)
