Doctor Who: Big Bang Generation

A 12th Doctor novel

By: Gary Russell

Narrated by: Lisa Bowerman

Lisa Bowerman reads this original novel featuring the Twelfth Doctor, as played in the BBC TV series by Peter Capaldi.

Christmas 2015, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Imagine everyone's surprise when a time portal opens up in Sydney Cove. Imagine their shock as a massive pyramid now sits beside the Harbour Bridge, glowing with energy. Imagine their fear as Cyrrus "the mobster" Globb, Professor Horace Jaanson and alien assassin Kik arrive. Finally, imagine everyone's dismay when a bunch of con artists turn up to spring their greatest grift yet.

This gang consists of Legs, Dog Boy, Shortie, Da Trowel, and their leader, Doc, who is busy making sure the universe isn't destroyed.

And when someone accidentally reawakens The Ancients of Time - which, Doc reckons, wasn't the wisest or best judged of actions - things get a whole lot more complicated....

A complete and unabridged reading by Lisa Bowerman, who plays Professor Bernice Summerfield in Big Finish's range of audio adventures.

this story was so -so

the reason I gave an overall rating of three stars is the story itself was an OK story in that you have the doctor and new people that we've never heard of before. Unfortunately with issues with the download and play back kept cutting out at different chapters it made it very difficult to keep track with the story. Multiple times throughout the story the playback with pause and also rewind and play again over and over.

As for the story itself, it was an average type of story. I did not feel that excited about listening to the story as it was a bit difficult to follow. Granted the author didn't lay everything out at the beginning as well they shouldn't, but there was some gaps in the story that I felt it could have been better. it would be interesting to see the character Bernice Summerfield again in a different story as she definitely has a relationship with the doctor and it might be fun to see how that plays out. As for the other characters in the story it didn't grab me at all. I would not be disappointed never to see them again.

the narrator's portrayal of the doctor was fairly good especially when she used her Scottish accent. The other characters she did okay with but again they sort of sounded all the same.

Overall for me this story was sort of ho-hum. coupled with the playback issues I would not recommend this story.

Now we're talking!

Peter Capaldi, as The Twelfth Doctor, is hard enough to handle. The many characters, including Bernice's gang and rivals, we're worthy of Sophie Devereaux! Bonus points for mentioning Cinder, The War Doctor's Companion.

Amazing Story

this was an amazing story held on to every word couldn't stop listening brilliantly done

Nice story

Found this really good. I've read the previous two and this has held my interest, despite at some parts being a little slow. Well done :) feels like an actual episode.
