A fun story with great music, excellent pacing (especially given how short it was!), and intriguing storytelling - very well done indeed! Listening to this just before 8pm (totally unintentionally, I might add), was very fun - it felt like I was racing against the clock along with the Doctor! I also felt like it managed very well without a companion, which is often a worry when the whole Doctor Who format usually relies on a companion, but there didn't feel like there was anything missing from this story - it was brilliant and hilarious all the way through! Such a fun listen, I highly recommend (4.5/5)!

Previous Story: The Wormery


A fun little short story featuring everyone's favourite psychotic cuddly-toy Beep the Meep! This isn't some sort of deep, thought-provoking story or anything. In fact it's exactly the opposite and that's why I think it's so great. It helps that the Meep's little song is so catchy though.
