A nice little story from Lucie's point of view, if a bit rushed at the end but still an enjoyable half hour 😀 Hope this isn't the last of lucie miller though

Well, the short trip coming put so early is a nice surprise and no mistake. They're usually held back till last. |

On the Big Finish instagram they have a picture that says Sheridan Smith's back in studio as Lucie Miller. Though I think the picture is from when she recorded this and probably just bad wording. But they do make it sound like she is there now recording something. http://instagram.com/p/BWfDtAdBjNX |

Do we have a placement for this one? I'm in the midst of an Eight-era relisten anyway, so I think I'll just hold off on this until I'm in the Eight/Lucie period, and do it at its right spot.

It's always lovely to hear from Sheridan and I appreciate that more and more of these Short Trips are being told in first person (instead of Sheridan saying Lucie said this as some older releases were structured) but I just wasn't very engaged in this story.

I have to say this release was just okay. It was by far the weakest release for the range this year.

I got terribly distracted during my listen to the story, through no fault of the production whatsoever. It still managed to register as a very good story anyway, and it is of course such always a delight to hear Sheridan Smith that I wouldn't mind at all giving it another listen shortly to see if I really missed anything.

Pretty sure I noticed the 'Nick Briggs' mix of the theme, so somewhere in whatever season that was (2 or 3?) |

Pretty sure I noticed the 'Nick Briggs' mix of the theme, so somewhere in whatever season that was (2 or 3?) Plus Lucie has great faith in the Doctor, never questioning that he won't find her. This would fit into series 3, which built up the idea of her putting him of a pedestal. |

I actually loved everything about this story. Well, I'm such a Lucie fan that I could listen to Sheridan tell us about that time she took the bus and I'd be happy. But Lucie having a real adventure without The Doctor was wonderful. I could listen to this again in a heartbeat. Actually, I think that's what I'll do first thing tomorrow!

It was great hearing Lucie again and basically on her own surviving.

I really enjoyed it, wonderful brisk adventure that captures and expands upon The Eighth Doctor Adventure beautifully. Lucie had to kill someone :shudders:

Or a strange Time War shennigans cameo in first Time War box set? |
