Já começo dizendo que até o momento The Auntie Matter é o meu áudio favorito da BIG FINISH. Enquanto K9 está na TARDIS cuidando de problemas que envolvem o Black Guardian, o Doctor e a Romana estão desfrutando de um estilo de vida tranquilo como o Senhor e Senhora de uma casa em Londres. Eis que conhecemos uma "tia" alienígena que tem a capacidade de roubar/assumir os corpos das pessoas, ela usa seu guarda costas (seu sobrinho) chamado Reggie para capturar belas e inteligentes mulheres. Convencido por sua "tia" de que precisa de uma esposa, Reggie vai até a biblioteca e se depara com a belíssima Romana que está à procura de livros de Ciências – Sério...É muitooo engraçado essa cena kkkkk, o Reggie soltando os xavecos para cima da Time Lady do tipo "Ah eu também gosto de Ciências sabe". Já o Doctor acaba captando um sinal alienígena que o leva ao mesmo destino de sua Companion porem, sozinho, ele convida a doce e tímida empregada Mabel que acaba tendo um dia de Companion. Mary Tamm tem um desempenho fantástico em toda essa 2° Temporada do Fourth Doctor Adventures, parece até que sua despedida foi algo combinado, planejado para ser perfeita. O roteiro de Jonathan Morris é de uma fluidez muito leve e agradável com várias pitadas de humor sempre muito bem encaixadas na trama requintado com todo o charme de Londres dos anos 20, além disso o áudio conta com uma divisão narrativa genial onde vemos o Doctor e a Romana envolvidos na mesma aventura só que não cruzando seus caminhos, sem saber que ambos estavam envolvidos na mesma problemática, só no fim quando voltam a se encontrarem na TARDIS ao questionarem o que fizeram nesse meio tempo, os dois acabam descobrindo que estavam no mesmo lugar resolvendo a mesma situação, isso nos gera uma briga cômica muito hilária tendo um personagem querendo provar que foi mais eficiente que o outro. Enfim, resumindo em poucas palavras, eu AMO cada minuto, cada pedaço desse áudio!

I'll start by saying that so far The Auntie Matter is my favourite BIG FINISH audio. While K9 is in the TARDIS dealing with problems involving the Black Guardian, the Doctor and Romana are enjoying a quiet lifestyle as the Lord and Lady of a house in London. Here we meet an alien "aunt" who has the ability to steal/assume people's bodies, she uses her bodyguard (her nephew) called Reggie to capture beautiful and intelligent women. Convinced by his "aunt" that he needs a wife, Reggie goes to the library and comes across the beautiful Romana who is looking for science books – Seriously... It's very funny this scene haha, Reggie dropping pick-up lines to the Time Lady like "Oh I also like Science you know". The Doctor ends up picking up an alien signal that leads him to the same destination as his Companion however, alone, he invites the sweet and shy maid Mabel who ends up having a day of Companion.Mary Tamm has a fantastic performance throughout this 2nd Season of the Fourth Doctor Adventures, it even seems like her farewell was something arranged, planned to be perfect. The script by Jonathan Morris is very smooth and pleasant with several dashes of humour always very well inserted in the plot refined with all the charm of London in the 20s, in addition, the audio features a brilliant narrative division where we see the Doctor and Romana involved in the same adventure but not crossing their paths, without knowing that both were involved in the same issue, only at the end when they return to meet in the TARDIS and ask each other what they did in the meantime, the two end up discovering that they were in the same place solving the same situation, this leads to a very hilarious comedic fight with one character wanting to prove they were more efficient than the other. Anyway, to sum up in a few words, I LOVE every minute, every piece of this audio!

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

Previous Story: The Armageddon Factor

This was a fun little start to the series, it was a bit silly but it took itself seriously when it needed to. It continues on directly after the Key to Time, with the Docto sending the Black Guardian on a wild goose chase. I liked the concept of the alien, it's not completely unique but it's given a novel spin in this story. The supporting cast are all stand out, especially Robert Portal as Reggie, who plays a lovable oaf.

I liked the ending, with both the Doctor and Romana suddenly figuring out that they were both at the same place, unbeknownst to each other.

Next Story: The Stealers from Saiph
