- Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2015This first box set of new Eighth Doctor Adventures is a tale of two halves. It begins incredibly strong but fades towards the end.
The Eleven: This story introduces The Eleven, a Time Lord with a regenerative illness that has all of his personalities active at once. It's a great idea and Mark Bonnar does a superb job bringing this intriguing and frightening character to life.
The story itself is a fast paced mad dash that finds the Doctor forced to come to Gallifrey and then trying to thwart the Eleven's escape attempt. It's an action packed hour where the tension rarely lets up.
The Red Lady: The Doctor and Liv arrive the British Museum in the 1960s in search of a temporal anomaly caused by the Eleven. There they encounter Helen Sinclair and some artwork featuring a mysterious Lady in Red, a portend that grows more sinister as the story goes on.
This is one of the finest scripts John Dorney has written for Big Finish. There's a very strong horror element in the story that really builds throughout it. It's helped by expert directing by Ken Bentley, and fully engaged performances from Paul McGann and Nicola Walker as the Doctor and Liv, with Hattie Morahan turning in a solid performance as the new companion Helen. To me, this is the audio equivalent of, "Blink."
The Galileo Trap: This story marks Helen's features Helen's first trip in the TARDIS as they had back to 16th Century Florence after receiving a message from Gallileo and right into a trap.
Overall, this is a story that worked okay. If you can get past the idea that the Eleven hired two low-rent alien thugs to spend years watching for the Doctor, the story is fairly well done and has some typical doses of Marc Platt written weirdness and some good moments with Helen as the new Companion. The final scene which sees the savage alien villians revert to their more despicable forms is very well-done.
The Satanic Mill: This story sees the the Doctor, Liv, and Helen heading to a mysterious planet that appeared near Earth. They find a colony of humans with a 1-day lifespan who can read, sing, and work all day. Of course, it's all an elaborate trap for the Doctor and sets up his confrontation with the Eleven.
The Eleven has a plan that's extra evil and extra vindictive and appropriately twisted. While Mark Bonnar doesn't get to do as much with the Eleven in this one, there's an appropriate sense of menace to the character. We also get to see some nice moments with Helen and Liv as they develop into a good double act.
Beyond this, though, the story has problems. There's too much that's inexplicable about, "The Satanic Mill." Why do these workers live only one day? It seems a total waste. Why teach them to read evil, "Work Till You Drop" hymn books. Why even have hymn books when you're only going to live one day and sing one song. The story doesn't hint at an answer to this thing or even some bigger answer that would give you a general idea bout the logic of this plan. The only potential answer is that, "The Eleven is crazy and that's just what he does." which can only go so far.
I also felt the cut scenes in the middle of the story where we cut away from action at the, "Satanic Mill" were distracting where they were used. Coming in the middle of the story and out of nowhere they took us out of the action to Galileo warning of the end of the world and a Time Lord stating Earth had disappeared in the 17th Century. They could have were used at the start of the story like in, "The Pandorica Opens" on television where the cut scenes from previous guest stars showed something had gone horribly wrong and set the mood for the audience. Here, they just distract.
And then there's the ending which just isn't satisfying. It's a plot that uses the Sonic Screwdriver and the TARDIS to save the day in a very cheap way, but with the Eleven giving clues that there's something behind his actions before he disappears mysteriously. The way this is done just felt tired unimaginative.
So the box set starts off strong and fades, but still there are some intriguing hints of wants to come and a lot of strong performances that make it enjoyable despite a flawed final chapter.

ThomasNReviewed in Germany on October 26, 20175.0 out of 5 stars Ein Muss für Whovians / A Whovians must have
Achtung, kann Spoiler enthalten...Beware of Spoilers
Eine sehr schöne Geschichte, mit Bezug auf alte Folgen und einem herausragenden Paul McGann als 8. Doctor. Die Big Finish Produktionen dürfen in keiner Doctor Who Sammlung fehlen, bringen sie einem wunderbare Abenteuer des 8.Doctors, die super geschrieben sind. Besonders die Episode "The red Lady" ist eine gut geschriebene und gesprochene Geschichte die Gänsehaut garantiert.
Very good Stories with references to the old Episodes and an outstanding Paul McGann as the eights Doctor. Big Finish Audios should be part of any Doctor Who Colection. They are very well written adventures of the eights Doctor, especally "The red Lady" is very well written and performed by the Cast, Chills and guspumps inclusive ;)
ColinDReviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 20165.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic new series with the 8th Doctor.
Oh crikey, how good are Big Finish productions? SUPERB! This is the first time I've really listened to Paul McGann as Doctor Who outside of the TV film and short appearance in a recent series. He is a very capable actor and brings the role to life. And, his partnership with Nicola Walker who plays Liv Chenka is great Nicola plays Liv in a very dry way and her voice is perfect.
Great acting, great stories. Just... great.
