The First Doctor #27

'The Juror's Story' (2004) from Short Trips: Repercussion.

Despite being unfamiliar with both 12 Angry Men and the four respective Doctors here who are not the First, I still got plenty out of this little story and enjoyed my time with it. As I was attempting to figure out which Doctor was which I actually had the realisation that I do not know the voice of any classic Doctors aside from One and Four. I even thought that Dr Bowman here was the Fourth and heard him in that way the whole time before realising he was the Eighth on the wiki. It'll be fun to see how stories such as this change in my mind years from now once I am further accustomed to the future Doctors, but it was perfectly satisfactory as a tale by itself for now.

I really struggle with court room dramas and this court room drama is a huge struggle, especially in a short story form. I couldn't tell you any of the characters names apart from the Doctors but even then i couldn't tell you which doctor was which. I had to look up who Dr. Smith was and they where the 5th Doctor didn't read like that at all.
All the other Doctors give there bits to defend one and persuade the other jury members slowly gaining in numbers of course, all the Doctors end up voting not guilty of course. The story ends with Dr Bowmen and Harris talking and saying the problem with time travel is time lines get so over written.

i found the story extremely dull, its just not for me unfortunately I really just couldn't find the groove with this then it was gone.
