The Yearn

A well told story in the second Eleven & Valarie box set. While not as imaginative as the first, this story is very well done. While on the surface, this tale is a staple of Big Finish Doctor Who, this one has a few twists and turns that make it stand out on its own. The chemistry between Jacob Dudman and Safiyya Ingar is still here, and this story more than others really cements Safiyya Ingar's Valarie Lockwood as a great companion. The banter back and forth between Valarie and The Doctor is right out of the TV show. The guest cast is excellent, with a special note to Mia Tomlinson as Roanna. Overall, this is another cracker of a story in the ongoing series.
