"Twas the night before Christmas...", August 2, 2010
This review is from: The Chimes of Midnight (Dr Who Big Finish) (Audio CD)
This is a fantastic story: claustrophobic, sinister, mysterious, macabre and yet poignant.
It's not easy to craft a tale that sends tingles down the spine and also tugs at the heartstrings, but Robert Sherman has succeeded in a spectacular fashion. Set on Christmas Eve in a house where time is out of sync, Shearman's script is perfectly paced. Each cliff-hanger is truly suspenseful, taking the story in a surprising new direction.
If you're even a causal fan of the Eighth Doctor and Charley audios, you simply MUST listen to this audio adventure. Not only does it deliver in its own right, but it also advances Charley's over-all story arc.

Just right for late night driving!, November 27, 2011
This review is from: The Chimes of Midnight (Dr Who Big Finish) (Audio CD)
I got this item as a gift, and it won't be the last one I try to get my hands on! Paul McGann and India Fisher are excellent, as are supporting members of the audio cast. Usually I prefer a single reader, but the quality of this full-cast production wins me over. Set in the early 1900s, this really has the feel of an Agatha Christie murder set at Christmas.
Some of the themes really remind me of the recent episode "The Doctor's Wife" ... some houses should just be left alone.
