Summary

Clare Corbett reads this exciting original adventure for the Thirteenth Doctor

“To distort the purity of the Good Doctor is an abomination!”

On the planet of Lobos, the Doctor halts a violent war between the native Loba and human colonists. The TARDIS crew departs – only for Ryan to discover he’s left his phone behind. Again.

Upon returning, the Doctor finds that the TARDIS has slipped hundreds of years into the future – and something has gone badly wrong. The Loba are now slaves, serving human zealots who worship a figure known as The Good Doctor.

It’s time for the Doctor to face up to the consequences of her last visit. With Lobos on the brink of catastrophe, will she be able to make things right?

Clare Corbett reads this original story featuring the Thirteenth Doctor, Yasmin, Ryan and Graham, as played by Jodie Whittaker, Mandip Gill, Tosin Cole and Bradley Walsh.

Clare Corbett is brilliant, the characterisation of the four principles is almost spot on, Graham is a tiny bit off, but that's minor. Overall the plot reads like a 60,s 70,s adventure, all the stereo typical characters and situations are there, and that's nice, feels familiar. My issue is the plot. So, Ok, I may not be the intended audience, probably 30 years olde than I should be...but withiut giving away any of the plot, there are clumsy plot devices that grate, 2dimensiinal characters who are predictable, and no real threat.

That said the central theme about unintended consequences is very good.

Captures the characters perfectly

This is an important story and Dawson is the one to tell it. I adored every second of it. And a special mentioning towards the performance. Jodie's accent and tone are super difficult to master, but I genuinly forgot it wasnt her at some points. Same for Yaz's accent, keeping the magic alive!

Absolutely brilliant!

The writing style is compelling and original. Ryan is particularly well written and is well developed, realistic as well as funny and charming.

The Doctor is SUPERBLY crafted and performed with absolute conviction (The accent is also bang on!!). I would even say this is a more realized and three dimensional character than we have seen in the TV show.

Some of the parallels with real life emancipation struggles may seem a little obvious to older readers but maybe this reflects the way that real life history is repeating itself in ways that might previously been considered as trite and obvious.

Would definately reccomend!

Excellent reading performance and tight story
