I was largely impressed by The Wrath of the Iceni. I think it was a refreshing take on a historical stories. Whether Boudica deserves the treatment any more than any number of historical figures covered in past Doctor Who stories is irrelevant to me - it's more of the thoughtful take on the history itself and the futility of warfare against the heartbreaking effects of colonialism really works in this audio's favour. It's an interesting companion to the short story Good Queen, Bad Queen, I Queen, You Queen - and they still kind of work together in an intriguing way, at least in my opinion. I really like the writing around this audio. It feels thoughtful and pronounced in its execution and really left an impression on me. The only thing I found a little underwhelming, surprisingly, was Tom Baker, who feels relegated to largely just shouting Leela's name over and over again over some battle sound effects (however impressive those effects may have been). All told this was fun and quite impressive even if it wasn't perfect. Like Liked 1 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating87 members 3.82 / 5 GoodReads AVG.
