Humanity has an unnerving ability to create havoc and pressure on itself that in the individual comes across, at best as anxiety, at worst domineering deflection, the trauma of a past event manifesting itself as control, of wanting supposedly the best for someone in your life but directing, supervising every minute detail of the event in question, that they are left on the point of mental suffocation, of supplicating their own desires for the safety of keeping quiet so as not to cause an argument.

Tied by the clock, humanity seems to be regulated to go from the cradle to the grave checking the clock, counting down the hours religiously, almost with devotion and loyal consistency, till we put up our feet and let the final hours swim past in smiles and surrounded by memories.

Sapphire And Steel: Water Like A Stone. Audio Drama Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

One of the great promises of any artistic production is that it can be described as timeless, that the emotion of the piece is found to be intense, that it goes beyond the sense of the abiding comfort and routine and finds a place where the balance between revolutionary and eternal are met with expectations fulfilled.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: David Warner, Susannah Harker, Joseph Young, Neil Salvadge, Ian Hallard, Lucy Beresford, Michael Adams, Stuart Piper.

The lies we tell ourselves, the secrets we keep in our mind, are the endless triggers for Time to leak from the past and into the future, and what we may believe is our own private self being protected from admitting our failures, the darkness within, it has a habit of spilling out, thanks to Time, and infecting others, putting lives in mortal danger.

Time is full of tricks, it has the ability to knock humanity off its perch repeatedly and humble the species to the point where it doubts itself and can turn against rhyme and reason in the pursuit of self-satisfaction and self-interest.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

When the question is posed by a force or instrument of evil or dangerous intent, “Would you sacrifice yourself to save your family?, for the majority of us we would perhaps not hesitate to answer in the positive, that we gladly give our lives if it meant that those we love around us were to survive.

Sapphire And Steel: The Passenger. Audio Drama Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: David Warner, Susannah Harker, Mark Gatiss, Hugo Myatt, Jackie Skarvellis, Neil Henry, Claire Louise Connolly.

Guilt, or the shouldering of blame and responsibility, even if by all logical deductions incapable or culpable of the crimes committed, is a disease of the soul that will keep eating away at your mind until there is nothing left to be devoured. We should accept the blame, we must feel the remorse of actions that we undertake which has caused someone pain, inflicted misery, affected their life, or even taken it, however, there comes a time when the feeling and effects of guilt, especially when innocence is forced to accept or adapt to the cognitive association to which our own inner desires may not yet have asserted themselves.

Doctor Who: Dark Eyes 4. Audio Drama Review, Big Finish.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Paul McGann, Nicola Walker, Barnaby Kay, Beth Chalmers, Charlie Norfolk, Derek Hutchinson, Dan Starkey, Camilla Power, John Dorney, Rachael Stirling, Alex Wyndham, Blake Ritson, Nicholas Briggs, Alex MacQueen, Sorcha Cusack, Susannah Harker, David Sibley.

Arguably one of the most involved, most deliberately, and it has to be said wonderfully elaborately written endeavours undertaken by Big Finish finally comes to an end as the saga of Dark Eyes sees the Eighth incarnation battle not only the Eminence, The Master and the Daleks but also Time itself. It is a battle that sees the foreshadowing of what is to come, of the ache that will grip the Doctor as the Time War sets out to destroy all and in which the very soul of the Time Lord is challenged.
