Having seen/listened to both I can confidantly say I really enjoyed this little prologue. It sets up events nicely, characters are established the best they can be in under ten minutes, and it was really interesting to see Paul McGann play someone who wasn't the Doctor for once. I did much prefer the webcast version of this, but I still had a good time with both. turlough View profile Like Liked 2 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
