I will be as honest as I can: this is not an ideal episode of Doctor Who. But it was one of the first episodes I ever watched. And I love it for it. Nothing too special, simple premise, but a really good time (and also really effective Clean Break for new Whovians). And... Yes... My review is shamelessly written for the sake of getting the new badge! Although I truly rewatched it, don't think I'm trying to fool you

So, after watching the episodes composing this serial semi-regularly (one or two a day, with a nice addition of Doctor Who and the Daleks between 5th and 6th), I can definently say that I overall enjoyed it. It is not a flawless story, there are some ploblems here and there, but… idc

This serial just feels really… Doctor Who. Like, you got everything here: some classic sci-fi of the Daleks vs Mechanoids, some comedy (certain episodes just outright feel like a light-hearted spoof), then there is adventure, danger and a early step into that would eventually become The Land of Fiction (lk it’s not technically The Land of Fiction, but the Nation’s idea for that place certainly have similarities with that would eventually become The Land of Fiction).

The first episode is literally just our protagonists chilling in the TARDIS and watching some historical scenes that bear practically no relevence to the plot of the story! Gotta love the story that manages to be everything Doctor Who is about. It is trying to be sci-fi, in some ways it is trying to be a horror, in some ways it is trying to be a comedy, but in all ways… It is trying to be Doctor Who. And I love this show. So it was impossible for me to not like it I think. 10/10

Very solid audio drama. Really feels like an episode from Pertwee era. Ending is truly sad

Mark Gatiss is probably having fun. I had fun. Definently more 'Torchwood' than 'Doctor Who'. Caroline John as Liz Shaw is great, geniunely upset that we got only one tv season of her as a full-time companion (great one though), but I will probably listen to Big Finish with her someday

Apparently Mark Gatiss thinks that the whole "P.R.O.B.E." series was just a "learning exercise" and I can agree that this story is not the most inventive or original, but it honestly surprised me cause I liked it very much! Nice horror story, which definently uses the whole potential of a "supernatural Doctor Who spin-off". And I will always appreciate the fact that 'Doctor Who' has the ability to inspire people to create

Revisiting past (and future) Doctors! Breaking the fourth wall! Fun, fun, fun

Fun adventure exploring generational trauma. Colin Baker is, as always, excellent as the Doctor, and Evelyn (played by Maggie Stables) is quickly becoming one of my favourite companions! Definently reccomend, although the ending may seem a little too bleak for some listeners

A really fun story about aromantism, asexuality and AI going horribly wrong! Its premise felt a bit similair to the film "Lobster" by Yorgos Lanthimos, but the film and this story are very different in their plots and execution, so that's alright. Overall, pretty excellent! I think I'm going to like this set, the dynamic between Ninth Doctor and River Song is certainly interesting

I was really looking forward to listening to this story because it is penned by one of the best Who writers - Robert Shearman - and it certainly didn't dissappont me. Great absurdist comedy with interesting sci-fi elements. And that ending... I laughed a lot

Rewatched today. Such a great episode. Probably the best of Chibnail's era now that I think about it
