A body-swap between the master and the doctor where neither of our main characters give themselves away to the familiar supporting cast, meaning you get some nice, subtle interactions from characters (Jo and UNIT personnel) noticing differences between the two. Plot-wise I have no criticism, it’s all deftly done. I did feel Jo was written in a sexist way though. I never quite got comfortable with her portrayal here. A rare case of male gaze in audio.

Thworping through time and space, one adventure at a time! This time: an old Big Finish Short Trip, reborn on audio! This Subscriber Short Trip release is an audio version of the 2002 Big Finish Short Trip release in the Zodiac collection. It's exactly the same fun body switch story, with added sound effects and great narration. These added elements are enough to bump the rating to a 9/10. Like Liked 1 1 August 2024 · 63 words Review by WhoPotterVian 3 A very entertaining body swap story, as the Doctor and the Master find themselves in the wrong bodies. I especially like the way the Master notes the Doctor's surprising lack of respect for his UNIT colleagues, and proceeds to salute them and call Brigadier 'Sir'. It's a great way to acknowledge the Doctor's flaws and how he is perceived by those around him. Like Liked 3 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating52 members 3.61 / 5 GoodReads AVG.
