Synopsis As the decade in English history which attracts the greatest quantity of alien invasions per annum, the 1970s are not the easiest time in which to steer the great British ship of state. The Prime Minister, nonetheless, is doing the very best job he can. Still, at least he has UNIT to rely on – their eccentric, bouffant-haired scientific adviser in particular. Or does he? Written By: Jonathan Barnes Directed By: Lisa Bowerman CAST Tim Treloar (Narrator)  To be released August 2016 This story is only available as a download |

I think that these are little gems, they are affordable, and they are also rather good. I look forward to these each month, they are a little ray of sunshine in the whole audio universe.

I just heard the trailer on the podcast, Tim is certainly stepping up to the mark, real find there by Big Finish and I could see that there could be some really good use of his vocal and acting talents in order to get more third doctor adventures

Just listened to this for the third time today superb, deserved to be a lot longer, and begs the question when will we see a potential third doctor series similar to the fourth, of course two issues have to be satisfied to do this, quality stories and whether Tim is willing. I think this is a real slow burn that has quite significant opportunity, and especially for someone like me who is a avid 3rd Doctor fan.

I wonder if that's going to be followed up in one of the upcoming Third Doctor sets? Could also be followed up on in the 4DAs or otherwise, obviously, but it'd be nice to see that Prime Minister interact with Three again.

I bought this especially because I love Tim's reworking of the Third Doctor, and he's continually excellent, and a really good actor outside of that too. I loved the story as well. On the basisi of this, I might well invest in some more Short Trips.

One of the best last couple of minutes in a story in a while, a prequel/sequel would be appertained.

Not going to lie. I had to listen to this twice, and still feel as if it's ttapping into something that either hasn't happened yet or that I've forgotten from the series. I haven't felt this lost on a DW story since Ambassadors of Death.
It would be very clever to tie it into the characters and events from The War Machines, as the Doctor did seem to have friends in high places.
Still, an entertaining little story, and well done.

Obviously Project Damascus is something the Doctor has already been involved in (that we've yet to hear) and then there's the fallout (and fall out) at the end with the Prime Minister and the tape, so this could be an intriguing way to start off a Third Doctor series of stories.

This was a great story and very intriguing; is this going to lead somewhere? It certainly deserves to. As this story only whets the appetite for more Prime Minister and Doctor interaction.
Damascus is the best Short Trip of the year so far for me... 9/10.

Loved your review and how you pursued the point of view on the Doctor in talking about the story. Not going to lie.

I too felt as though there was something I was missing - some prequel or sequel that I haven't heard yet. Still, an enjoyable story, overall. |

ST World Beyond the Trees provides some context
