Absolutely insanely brilliant! Torchwood does Cosmic horror mixed with a bit of religious and artistic horror! The story unfolded beautifully and Andy is a great lead character for this episode. The twists and turns had me thoroughly hooked and this really is one of my favourite genres to cover, so getting to see a Torchwood version was amazing! My only complaint with this episode is that it is just a single episode, and the story ends on a relatively simple note rather than allowing an open ending, although the idea that the entity existed long before the story began does potentially leave it open. Otherwise, I thought it was just brilliant!

Not one of the best. Jac is out of character THROUGHOUT the entire story. In the TV series she's analytical, critical, knowledgable, kind, a little passive aggressive at times (but only on a friendly level), she may not be as well versed in science as Osgood but she's fantastic on her own... Here, she's actively rude, aggressive to Rani at times, arrogant, power hungry and just nasty at times. Aside from that, Jo and Rani feel a bit like charicatures of themselves, though Katy and Anjli are as fantastic as ever. The story is basic and dull, and the twists are obvious as hell. It wasn't as complex as it needed to be (not even as complex as some of the SJA stories).

Belinda and the Doctor were pitch perfect in this story, and so is the relationship between them! I really like the story as a whole, it works perfectly well, and feels like a very fitting story for this era, and has rejuvinated my love for the franchise and the current Doctor / Companion combination after a very bleak finale. I really love the characters and the plot, with some fantastic concepts like bio-engineered spaceships and a focus on mycelium! Having the bounty hunters AND the imperium felt a little crowded, with them both having the "STOP! We're back now to halt the plot for a while" moments a few times. Otherwise, it was a brilliant story and is very possibly the best Season 2 era episode yet. Especially as it actually DEVELOPS the Mrs. Flood mystery more than the TV show ever did before the reveal, as Belinda catches sight of Mrs. Flood and recognises her as her neighbour, something we NEVER see on the TV show. Highly recommend, Hannah Fergesen is a terrific author and I hope they come back for more!

A beautiful story! The Eighth Doctor and Mary Shelley meet the Cybermen, which was fantastic! I'm a big fan of the Haunting of Villa Diodati, but in so many ways this story is so much better! The Silver Turk itself is a fantastic concept, and the performance by Nicholas Briggs is chilling to the core! I adore the big twist at the end and hope we get to see the payoff someday! Mary is a brilliant companion and I love seeing her struggle with the Doctor's morals against the Cybermen. The music is brilliant as always (love this version of the title theme, wish it would be the one used for the modern 8DAs). There's some really gruesome moments which work so well and I think it's ultimately just a fantastic story! And of course, it's an Eighth Doctor vs Cyberman story, which is usually a recipe for good things!

Adored this book! The story, the characters, all of it was brilliant. By far one of my favourite stories for 13 and the fam, they all feel fully utilised and like proper characters. The story for Dorothy was also brilliant, and was set up nicely throughout the book, and it's great that it's provided more representation in the Whoniverse! While Missy does go slightly underutilised, it's amazing to see her again, and to get her dueling with 13 is simply wonderful! The two bounce off each other effortlessly, and I think having the story set in the Land of Fiction was a great twist! Love all of the little references to the whoniverse as well!

I read this when it came out... and I still remember it to this day... I think that's the mark of a good story!

I'm still mentally recovering from this episode. It was just amazing from start to finish. The culmination of everything we've seen before and setting up for boxset 7 and beyond, it was brilliant. I was thinking throughout about "the invaders" and wondering who they could be. With Dan Starkey voicing them, I had a hunch it may have been the Sontarans but wondered if that was just my Dan Starkey bias as I'm so used to seeing and hearing him as the potato shaped monsters. However, I was very pleased to learn I was right, with the big twist at the end being that the Sontarans have now taken over Gallifrey! What a brilliant twist and setup for the next story. Also brilliant was having the Sinsa confirm what I suspected from Nowhere, Never onwards, that being that Hieronyma Friend is somehow using the different faces of the Eighth Doctor's companions. We did get a hint to this back in 2023 when in the Audacity reveal news article, they mentioned how Jaye Griffiths was in Time War 5 and I always thought that was odd as companions have often been in prior episodes of the show, especially since Jaye Griffiths was in the TV series as well. Of course now we know that she was using Audacity's face, but we wouldn't have ever suspected that back during Time War 5. Now, she's used Helen and C'rizz's faces too and I can't wait to see who they'll have playing her next! And all of this without even mentioning the main twist of the episode. Alex turning on the Doctor was an absolutely brilliant scene and I cannot wait to see where it goes from here! It's going to be an amazing story going forward and I'm looking forward to seeing how that all pays off!

This story was really good! Following on from Cass' ending in the previous story was a great idea. However, this story feels a bit of an odd one as we don't know whether the actual plot is relevant or if it's just a way to have an ongoing story throughout the episode. Definitely a good use of the Time War and the amnesia that seems to come with it. I thought some of the elements were quite funny, such as the singing robot. The ending is left quite ambiguous with it being unclear on how this links up with Cass' return in Borrow or Rob. It's a brilliant story, however, and I think it's a great addition to the boxset, especially as it seems  to be a way of introducing us to what the Doctor and Hieronyma are going to go through in boxset 7.

One of my favourite Torchwood stories of all time. I know it seems a bit of an odd choice, but the humorous elements really lift this story up for me! Yvonne was a character I was always intrigued by in Army of Ghosts / Doomsday, so to get more of her on audio was brilliant! She really comes off as out of her element, wanting to keep calm and carry on and trying (poorly) to keep people safe on her own without her team. It is nice to briefly hear Gwen and Andy in the story and Ianto being an unheard presence was a great addition. I think the ending is great and the twists and turns throughout were brilliant.

A truly haunting tale for Gwen and Rhys. I really enjoyed this story, and the horror elements were just amazing! Would've been nice if for her first audio story, Gwen didn't have to have Jack around, but otherwise this story was a real gem! The twist with Anwen really got me, and it was such a wild story. The villains were amazing in concept and execution and the acting was all around brilliant! Eve and Kai step back into their roles effortlessly!
