A033 Doctor Who: Redacted

Hello everyone,

Well it’s been a while since I listed to Dr Who via Audio, so I can’t compare production to another Dr Who audio adventure. I do listen to quite a lot of podcasts, and also audio books,
with many of them simply having a narrator.

So I will compare this adventure ( Production wise ) with the gold standard of audio production: “ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” . Also by BBC.

And, well…it’s pretty good!
With likeable, entertaining characters, which are very contemporary British ( or Scottish )

The narrative drew me in ( Drew back when I was listening to it…)

Although obviously a Doctor light story, it was funny, creepy, charming and creative.

Madame Vastra makes a welcome reappearance, and Jodie Whitaker was fine in her ( mostly last episode ) role in the story.

I loved the idea of people going missing under suspicious circumstances, and it reminded me of some of the true crime podcasts that I do actually listen to in real life.

The cast in this one I thought did a fantastic job, along with seamless editing of conversations and sound effects, made for a thoroughly enjoyable 3 hours odd story.

Rating: 4.2 Sewer floaters…

Cheers
