I've listened to a few Doctor Who audiobooks and adventures, and this one is by far the most fun! Catherine Tate is a fantastic reader. She pulls off the Doctor quite well, and--of course--makes me laugh when she plays Donna.

The story itself is a typical Doctor Who story, both as a book and as an episode. I don't know if it was the writing or if it was Catherine Tate, but I could visualize this world better than other worlds presented in Doctor Who's written adventures. The play on viral ads, telemarketing, and how we only seem to reach machines when we need help was entertaining. The Doctor was very on character (I've read some that didn't strike me as very tenth doctor before, anyway--more of a generic sort of Doctor) and I loved Donna, as always.

The reading/audio was, like I mentioned before, fantastic. Catherine has a wide range of voices for different characters, different accents and styles that really make each character unique. She has a knack for pacing, too, so the story doesn't drawl on. On top of the great performance Catherine Tate gave during her read, the extra bits added flavor and depth! (Those extra bits, by the way, are sound effects.)

All in all, I will definitely be listening to this again!

Clever idea for a story-it could have been part o the TV series I think. Catherine Tate is a great reader.

Great entertainment if you like audio only stories. I purchase Doctor Who audio stories so that I can listen while at work and to entertain my kids as they fall asleep.

I thought this particular story was very creative and entertaining. I am also a huge Catherine Tate fan. If you like audiobooks, and like Dr. Who, you'll like this.
