Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Peter Davison, Sarah Sutton, Janet Fielding, Tim Delap, Richard James, Elizabeth Morton, Robbie Stevens, Wayne Forester.

As the tenth incarnation of The Doctor once remarked with fear in his voice, “Water always wins”; when that water surrounds you, when that impeding sense of doom of being submerged, of being inundated by half truths and a partner that won’t let you go easily, then water doesn’t just win, it erodes to eventually destruction everything in its path.

Doctor Who: Daleks Among Us, Audio Drama Review, Big Finish 177.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Sylvester McCoy, Tracey Childs, Christian Edwards, Terry Malloy, Jonathan Forbes, Nicholas Briggs, Tim Delap, Jessica Brooks, Paul Chandi.

There is only one way to perhaps to finish off what has been an absorbing trilogy involving one of the best female additions to the Doctor Who audio range, a machine so powerful that even in the Doctor’s hands can cause the listener anxiety issues and a fine quirky new companion straight from U.N.I.T.  and that’s by having the revulsion of the Doctor’s most hated enemy make an appearance alongside their creator. If all that can happen in one great story then what hope is there for others following after.

When a person dies, it is understandable for those left behind to feel so much grief that the desire to hang on any part of them at all is so overwhelming. Their clothes, their favourite mug, a much loved picture of a wedding day are all there to cherish and hold onto for as long as it takes, but could you restore their voice, their physical mental being and download it into a synthetic machine that knows everything about the person they have supplanted but not how to act with instinctive. Such is the haunting premise of Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror series and its opening episode of the new series Be Right Back.
