If anyone doesn't, they're crazy. She's a major reason why the Benny audios are so great, gloriously bringing the character to life while showing so many facets of her personality.

Very fun and enjoyable ride with the nice added back drop of Christmas to add a flavour to the story while not intruding on it while it tries to move along its merrily way. 8/10

Just listened to it. I wish I had realized that it was a Christmas episode, but hey, Easter isn't that far off A great story that fits the Short Trips mode perfectly. Very creepy.

I love Lisa Bowerman, and I especially love her as Benny, so this was just perfect for me. She tells the story well and does the Doctor lines with true Seventh Doctor character. Great little story.

I liked this one, too. Lisa Bowerman does a great job in these and I hope we are getting more of Benny Short Trips (and Companion Chronicles)!

When it comes to Short Trips, and the MR, I mostly just stick to titles people have recommended to me (I keep a list). This one, I picked out all on my own--because of Lisa Bowerman.
I was not disappointed.
That said, I don't exactly have much to say about the story. It was fine! Fun, not terribly memorable, but fun. But I am starting to detect a pattern: Big Finish sure does love the idea of weaponized memes, huh? Was that ever a thing in the TV show, or did they just embrace it because of the audio format?
