Synopsis

Whatever Happened to Susan Foreman? was an audio drama which aired on BBC Radio 4 as the fifth instalment of Adrian Mourby's Sony Award-winning first series of Whatever Happened to ...? in 1994. Like the other episodes, it examined the life of a fictional character through the realistic lens of a researcher conducting an interview with a subject — in this case, the original Doctor Who companion herself, Susan Foreman, as played by Jane Asher, offering a satirical look at her life following the events of The Dalek Invasion of Earth.

Oh, dear.. Where do we even begin? The Idea itself is pretty solid, I have to say, there is an Appeal to it, and then we come to the Characterization. I am not quite sure how to articulate it, but this one just feels bitter. Despite it being a pretty short Audio, due to its Mistreatment of various Characters it feels so much longer.

Really disliked this one throughout it.

SUSAN: We moved to London in ... Nineteen Sixty-Three, to Coal Hill. I came here with my grandfather. My parents were too busy with the shop.

RESEARCHER: What kind of shop did they run?

SUSAN: It sold concepts. Philosophical, religious, metaphysical, you know the kind of thing. You could buy them in purely intellectual form, or printed on a T-shirt.
