I thought I recognised the name from somewhere... Ah yes! The Lethbridge-Stewart series! Congratulations to Harry and everyone who took part this year!

Well that's another incredible story brought to life by the memorial opportunity! I've all 3 of these releases & it's great to see new talent being allowed the chance to write for Big Finish.

Currently listening, brilliant so far! That reminds me, I wonder when they're going to add the PDF script and original entry, just like the first two winning releases?

Very nice idea and a good tonal shift change as well

Enjoyed this.......but boy was the sound mixing loud compared to the dramas.......had to turn down 50% to stop the distortion on the blue tooth speaker, but better that than too quiet......lol
Happy Christmas / birthday Paul where ever you are..l.l.l.l

Wow. I don't love Nick's Troughton, but the excellent, excellent story more than made up for that. Mysterious, touching, tragic. Bravo, Harry!

Well wasn’t that a wonderful story? Really enjoyed it. And the last scene really tugs at your heartstrings. The author should be proud.

An interesting concept that’s well explored. I’m not keen on Nick’s Second Doctor or Jamie, but it gets the point across and the prose is so lovely it scarcely matters.

Another fine winner. Strong characterisation and a powerful ending,

That was really quite lovely. We need to get Harry to join the forum so we can tell him how great he is.

Another excellent Paul Spragg winner, very ingenious and well characterised and, with a sudden twist, very sad too. Many congratulations to Harry, hope he will visit our divergent Universe one day, I take my hat off to him. ("I would like a hat like that!"  )
{Spoiler}
A clever theme shiift from Bernard's retirement at the start, to the loss of his very existence by the end - something which some people do feel almost happens when they leave working life and it must be especially true for those who have served as Bernard thinks he has served.
As someone who discovered the early years of 'Doctor Who' not from TV, but from the Target books, thanks to Harry not only for his great story but for the setting - Barnes Common! For many many years I firmly believed that it was there that Ian and Barbara, chance-met strangers, stumbled into an old Police Box in the fog...  |

That was a nice little oddity - Paul Magrs said (I believe in the author's notes of The Scarlet Empress) that he believed Doctor Who was more magic realism than sci-fi and I think this is a good example of that being true.
