Technophobia - 5/10

I won't have a lot to say about this one I feel, I did enjoy it - I just didn't get into it as much as I thought I would I suppose

A friend suggested this story to me when I asked about good places to start big finish and so I listened. I was still very very new to big finish and really didn't know what to expect from a modern Doctors adventure.

Both Donna and the 10th Doctor do work in audio form but it took me a little while to get used to it I have to admit.

The plot was a super interesting concept and I think it worked well on audio, but my problem with this story is while the concept is good not enough was done with it - maybe its just the run time felt short and I expected more but either way the story did not grip me at all.

The setting was good with Donna experiencing it as a near future story works well with the whole evil technology themes throughout.

Overall Technophobia gets a 5/10 because to me it's just middle of the road not bad but not great - it was okay.

Lots of good banter between Ten and Donna. The story is pretty simple but it works well, entertaining to listen to.

This story which perfectly summons the feeling of Catherine Tate and David Tennent’s original era, with a perfectly matched tone and style. The idea of a developing “technophobia” amongst the human race is an interesting hook, which is well exploited, though I wish it resulted less in a general malfunctioning of the brain, which makes the alien menace a little less unique and specific.

I love these idiots so much it's unreal. It's so fun hearing them banter again.

Highlight of the audio was Donna having the time of her life destroying shit with a bulldozer.

God, I miss Ten and Donna. Best TARDIS team until I change my mind again. The story cleverly surprised me with its premise, didn't overstay its welcome and gave me more high-quality Ten/Donna banter. 3.5/5
