Awesome audio drama, Tom & Mary reignite there season 16 chemistry & Jonathan Morris gives us a enjoyable PG Woodhouse type adventure.

While the rather OTT sensibilities of the story might tend to pull ratings down to the middle I had to go for a 4/5. I thought it was a great story and the OTT stuff was rather built into the narrative, and I rather liked it.

Imagine Leela in Romana's place. That'd be hilarious, what.

Wodehouse to a tee and gloriously fun to listen to.

The Fourth Doctor and First Romana were practically Wodehouse characters already. The one brilliant but erratic, and the other aristocratic yet naive. This story was a perfect fit for them and I feel it made the most of Mary Tamm's character out of all the stories she did for Big Finish. Jolly good.

The most British of all 4th Doctor adventures. Why do you say that? Its DW does PG Woodhouse (Jeeves and Wooster) very ideal Edwardian Britishness and humour.

I actually knew absolutely nothing about Wodehouse prior to hearing this story.

The most British of all 4th Doctor adventures. Why do you say that? by way of P.G. Wodehouse counts as the most British thing. Ever. Or close to it. |

I actually knew absolutely nothing about Wodehouse prior to hearing this story. I’m in the same boat. I’d heard of Wodehouse but knew nothing about him or his stories. Just got my hands on a collected works from the iBook store. Started reading “Something New” and I’m in love. Got to love Doctor Who just for opening our eyes to what’s right here on Earth. As for The Auntie Matter, well, delightful is the only word that comes to mind. What a lot of fun it was. |

You know, I've actually read some Wodehouse. But it was so long ago that I didn't make the connection. /very delayed response   |
