Great Value Doctor Who

A very good buy for Doctor Who fans. These collections are always well worth a credit. Short summaries on my opinions of the stories. I’ll try to stay spoiler free as much as possible and keep to things that happen early on.

-The Clockwise Man - (7/10) Solid story about robots. The presentation of this is very, very Russel T Davies era, which makes it feel like it could have been an episode of the era.

-The Monsters Inside - (7.5/10) I felt like this was the best of the bunch. Bizarre concepts of how a space prison could be run. The Slitheen are the big bads here and I think that they are well used. The Slitheen are interesting, dangerous enemies (except for the farting) and I like them here. There’s also a cute slime monster who is chummy with the Doctor (cute as in nice and harmless, bot cute as in a sidekick)

-Winner Takes All - (2/10) Evil hedgehogs use a video game to recruit soldiers in an unending war. This idea was used in Sarah Jane Smith Adventures and I liked it better there. I really didn’t like this one. It’s extremely mean-spirited and pretty much every new character is just the worst. There’s so much anger and contempt in this one and not in an entertaining way. The giant hedgehogs aren’t interesting or funny. If you are expecting Beep the Meep, you’ll have to search elsewhere. I can take dark in Doctor Who (there are some very, very dark stories), but those stories are usually artistically valid. This is just unpleasant and directionless.


Even with the dud of Winner Takes all, the other two still make this a great value. And, of course, other people did enjoy the story that I hated, and you may, too. My opinion isn’t any more valid than anyone else’s.

Have a good one!

worth the listen

its a bit strange to hear the doctor and rose sound like someone else, but i really enjoyed the stories - especially the third one!! they have the same vibe as the show and if you're a fan who wants to get into expanded media, i would totally recommend these

It was like revisiting old friends!

Love Doctor Who! Great stories and great voice actors! Looking forwards to the next series!

for Whovians

9th Doctor Adventures with Rose Tyler. I listened to this book while working. The narrators are amazing.

Absolutely brilliant!!!

Loved all three stories! I was unsure about narrators at first, the woman more than the man, simply because I had never listened to Doctor Who audiobooks before so the actors’ voices were firmly established in my mind. I thought I might not enjoy listening to different people. Totally baseless fear. I LOVED it! All three books were outstanding! So glad I took a chance on this one.

its okay.

1st story was so boring I couldn't finish it. 2nd story was decent but still a little boring. I loved the 3rd story though and really liked the fact roses mom narrates 2 of the stories.

dull

so much whining from a character that knows better. and loser boy Mackey won't quit
