How unusual to have a Short Trips release lead off the month rather than close it out. It has happened before but not often.

Wow. Didn't expect that so soon. And it was only two days ago when they released last month's!

Strange indeed - and it looks like a pretty quite month in terms of releases, unlike November!

That was a slightly oddball, but rather enjoyable Short Trip. Always nice to hear Sarah extend her vocal talents beyond Nyssa. 😊

Well, that was a quirky little story, wasn't it? Sutton brings the tale to life with a myriad of voices and while the story is certainly a slight one, it is also a entertaining one. Pretty much a perfect example of what the range can be when it is humming along.

My take on this is now up at CultBox: "... beautifully descriptive and tackles a wonderfully daft premise as only Doctor Who can." |

Strange and funny, I liked it.

Well that was an odd one! 
A fun story full of great writing and Sarah Sutton shows again how really excellent she is at these (ahem) unusual multi-voice stories (thinking back to last year's 'Mistpuddle Murders'.) My only slight disappointment was I hoped the chicken would have something to say for itself so we could hear that voice too  but it didn't cluck up the courage to speak...
I think the Doctor was having an off day - shouting 'witch' in muddy merrie England as a distraction and then being surprised when the locals got homicidal seemed out of character. He should have known humans well enough to predict that!
An entertaining Short Trip which answered the second oldest question... The oldest question is presumably the one about the correct temporal sequencing of the chicken and its shelled embryonic stage, as mentioned in 'Rassilon's Big Scroll of Farm Animal Paradoxes' which the Doctor no doubt read as a Time Tot. It was probably to answer that question that the Gallifreyan pioneers built the very first TARDIS, and we all know what happened next... |

They're giving Sarah the weird ones aren't they. I'm not sure if this is stranger than the one about talking stuffed animals.
When I twigged what the question was I laughed for too long.
A very fun little story.

Her range - from this and Mistpuddle to stuff like A Heart on Both Sides - constantly impresses me. (I still think she'd have been a great Doctor in her own right.) |

Seems with this and Mistpuddle last year, Sarah Sutton is getting the oddball Short Trips of year.
I do like it when the Short Trips go for more weird and odd content, and this certainly did that, especiall when it’s revealed what the titular question is.

Absolutely bonkers and all the better for it. I’m having a streak of fun Big Finish listens this past week!

Everyone who has listened to this story will know at which line I groaned.
