Dando continuidade a run da Charley com o 6° Doutor, os viajantes da TARDIS decidem fazer uma pausa relaxante em Manchester de 2008. Logo os dois se deparam com uma manchete do jornal local noticiando que um homem encontrou uma moeda que supostamente veio do futuro. O áudio tem o mesmo tom investigativo de "The Condemned", temos novamente os viajantes se unindo a detetive "Menzies" para iniciar uma nova investigação em meio a uma narrativa bem cadenciada com uma bela exploração do submundo criminoso e alienígena da então moderna cidade de Manchester. Por mais que temos blocos bem interessantes e importantes que mostram os primeiros sinais de que o paradoxo da Charley está propício gerar algo muito ruim - Eu achei seu plot um pouco arrastado, magro e até mesmo um pouco sem conteúdo até sua primeira metade (parte 1 e 2), a história chega a melhorar quando é inserido todo aquele lance do alienígena fugitivo e da guerra interplanetária envolvendo a raça Tabbalac, mas...sei lá, ainda me pareceu uma mistura de elementos um pouco estranha. Enfim, vejo "The Raincloud Man" apenas como um BOM áudio... Até o momento o "The Condemned" continua levando o título de melhor. Hmmm...Charley dando rolê em um Casino do Rio de Janeiro...hmmm kkkkkkkk KnuppMello View profile Like Liked 1 19 December 2024 · 67 words Review by WhoTheoryYT Spoilers 1 This review contains spoilers! I was already really liking this story as a sequel to The Condemned, (I loved that story as the start of the continuation of Charley's story, as well as the character of Menzies, this feeling very similar thematically) but when the Doctor started playing high stakes Top Trumps at a casino to end a war, the story was absolutely solidified as an absolute classic in my opinion.
