Cute story about the Doctor and the Master switching bodies. Not very deep, but it's fun to see the Master annoyed that the Doctor doesn't even show basic politeness to his peers.

B. Maybe A.

i love how the master finds himself in the doctors body and just decides to be really nice and respectful to everyone, and when hes back in his own body he sees what the doctor did and just goes "yeah alright this might as well happen". you root for the master in this, its great

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.

📝9/10 = SUPERB!

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.
