For many, the idea of terrorism on British soil is a fairly recent state of affairs, something that started in the 1970s when political events close to home spilled out onto the streets of Britain and has carried on into the 21st Century as ideologies clash, sometimes with devastating results.

Doctor Who: Tomb Ship. Audio Drama Review. Big Finish Productions.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * *

Cast: Peter Davison, Sarah Sutton, Eve Karpf, Amy Ewbank, James Hayward, Jonathan Forbes, Ben Porter, Phil Mulryne, Francesca Hunt.

It is worth remembering that Big Finish have been producing Doctor Who audio dramas now for almost 15 years, nearly 200 separate adventures in the main canon as well as the plethora of spin offs involving the very best of companions, so occasionally you listen to a story, in this case Tomb Ship, and you nod your head with great understanding that it didn’t just miss the mark, it hit the larger target next to it and disturbed all the arrows that seemed firmly in place.

For Flip Jackson and The Doctor materialising in a unknown segment of space to do some routine maintenance work on the Tardis has its repercussions as Flip Jackson learns the hard way that sometimes you should not open the door to the creature at your door, no matter if they look benign and childlike, for the parent will certainly bear down upon you with big teeth.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Gareth Thomas, Paul Darrow, Sally Knyvette, Michael Keating, Jan Chappell, Alistair Lock, Brian Croucher, Bethan Walker.

Nothing quite makes Science Fiction more entertaining than when the cast of your favourite programme have been set a problem which drives at the very psyche, the paranoia of the mind and the suspicion in those that you would normally defend with your life. It has been done so many times on screen and the tension it creates can be one of palpable enjoyment and dread that it might spill over too far. It is about the timing of the paranoia and suspicion and knowing when to pull back, leaving just the trickle of distrust seeping through after all is seemingly resolved.
