Jemma Redgrave, Clare Higgins, Nicola Bryant and Dan Starkey are among the readers of this exclusive collection of nine original audio adventures.

Join the Twelfth Doctor, as played on TV by Peter Capaldi, as he meets friends and enemies new and old on these journeys in time and space.

In the interlinked Winter quartet ('The Gods of Winter', 'The House of Winter', 'The Sins of Winter' and 'The Memory of Winter') the Doctor is served with a Calling Card that means he and Clara can be summoned for assistance at any time or place.

In the Lost quartet ('The Lost Angel', 'The Lost Planet', 'The Lost Magic' and 'The Lost Flame') the Time Lord becomes embroiled in a mystery involving the Weeping Angels and the Sisterhood of Karn.

In 'Rhythm of Destruction' he encounters the deadliest jazz quartet in the universe, and in 'Death Among the Stars' the Doctor sees some oddly familiar figures on Jupiter's sixth moon.

Good narrations and true to form characterization.

voicing of the Doctor's voice was consistent and allowed me to
picture Peter Capaldi actually speaking.

Great Narration

If you like Doctor Who you will love these stories. They seem to be interconnected for the most part. The characters are fun and familiar. In fact, one American sounded a lot like Peri, and I realized Nicola Bryant was narrating! Definitely recommend.

Overall Very Good

Overall I have to say I really enjoyed these short stories. 12 was one of my favorite incarnations of the Doctor so it was great to spend more time with him. Most of the stories are very entertaining but of course there were a few that were a bit of a let down. Having said that I would still recommend this grouping of stories to any fan of the Doctor.

Oh Boy, Where To Start?

So you know those episodes in series 2 or 8 that no one likes? Good ideas are turned into little more than goofy one-offs and scooby-doo chases down long hallways? Imagine that as a badly narrated book. Yeah. So, let’s just jump into it, the best stories are numbers 1, 2 and 9, all three of with are pretty good. The rest leave me begging for another Sil spin-off for something slightly less painful to do. Story 6 has no reason to exist… ever, 7 has a full three minutes of never ending fan gloss that serves nothing but to fill time, and every accent in the whole collection sounds faker than Tom Baker’s wax statue from 1983. Look, I know we all miss Capaldi. I personally believe that he was the best Doctor. But if you want to turn back the clock to avoid Jodie Whitaker (I can’t blame you), then just skip this one, mate. This collection’s not worth it. 3/10 for one or two good stories and Nicola Bryant’s bad accents (sorry, Peri).
