I really, really liked this one. First, it was a great use of two companions to give them both equal share in the narrating and acting duties. I also loved the conceit of having Vicki and Steven go down to a room in the TARDIS to perform their own audio dramas. I'd love to see the BBC use this format to do Vicki and Steven's interpretation of The Time Meddler, Galaxy Four, or The Myth Makers. There's a good bit of humor in this. I have to admit that I laughed out loud during the car scene and I love the misadventures of Steven trying to take a bag full of skeleton down a busy London street. The story itself gets pretty dark, but I like that Rayner take the time to show the nuance of the time. There were men who supported the suffragettes just as there were women who supported the casual misogyny of the era. The part where they relate first hand accounts of the mistreatment of the suffragettes is one of the most emotional scenes in all of Who. It's really powerful and moving stuff. What did anyone else think of this one? I posted a few more thoughts here. |

Just finished listening to this one. Forgot completely, while listening, that it was by Jac Rayner till I came to post here.
Really good story, enjoyed the interaction between Steven and Vicki. And I was amused by the setting and what you just knew was going to be part of the story the minute they mentioned, early on, seeing a certain location sign.
It was a fun listen.

I absolutely adore the conceit of this one. The idea that Vicki and Steven do their own Big Finish original audios in their spare time is fantastic. I wish they'd used this format again. |

It was an interesting way to frame the story. And the banter between them was amusing.
