2009 TOMS TARDIS AWARD WINNER
The story is very good. The story starts off as a bit of a mystery. You know something is wrong when the Doctor and Charley are walking around this Edwardian house yet we know there are people in the house who work there as maids and butlers. Yet neither groups actually meet. The emotional link between Charley and Edith was a very well acted and written one. The Doctor and Charley spend first part just wondering and don’t realise what’s going on. Once they do they use Edith to help put things right.
Paul McGann is simply superb as the Doctor. The best thing about these series of adventures is that it shows us what McGann’s Doctor would have been like had the TV Movie turned into a full blown series. India Fisher also puts in a very good performance. The character of Charley is really interesting who’s very existence is having a detrimental effect on time.
Robert Shearman has written a truly classic story. He manages to use every element that there is to help create a eerie atmosphere that has some wonderful science fiction. This was only his second contribution to the series but it will be very difficult for him (or anyone) to beat this. Praise should also go to the music and sound effects. Russell Stone did a great job with the music that helped create the setting and then Andy Hardwick at ERS.
This is the ultimate story. The Genesis of the Daleks of Big Finish plays. This is what all writers for future stories will need to try and match.
