TLV 8th Doctor: The Enemy Of My Enemy (spoilers ok)

I think it's because Nick has such a distinctive voice myself, one that we are used to hearing in so many different things over the years. Even most aliens that he voices with effects come across to my ears as Nick Briggs doing a funny voice. It's not a complaint, it's just the way it is when a small company uses the same actors in different roles.

Most actors have distinctive voices, Sean Connery for example, but they can act.

Verdict - meh....

Best of the bunch so far, which I guess is a good thing - you never want to get worst as a series progresses. Frankly TLV has so far failed to find anything to hook my interest. I find myself bored while listening to them. Watched the first Dalek episode - and all I can say is that it was nothing more than Nick talking to himself.

I suspect I am in the minority, but I think the Dalek need to be given a long hiatus. They are over exposed and poorly written. And I'm saying that as someone who has always loved the Daleks.

I enjoyed that.
Probably the first Dalek story since Conquest of Far or first McGann story since The War Valeyard that I enjoyed.








*Day of the Master is a Master story that has McGann cameos and he’s not in Companion Piece.

I actually quite enjoyed this. It wasn't mind-blowing or anything, but it was a fun run around. I did find the characterisations of the new kinds of Daleks a bit strange though, but that might have been less surprising if I'd been able to experience a bit more of Time Lord Victorious before listening to this (I've only heard the four audios and seen the first episode of Daleks! at the moment). I'm not quite sure what the deal is with all these new Daleks that have never been seen before, but I'm sure that will all be explained in some of the other stuff (when it finally arrives...).

Oh dear, I'm really not diggin these TLV 8th Doctor audios. This, like the first one, was a bit, well, shanty. Certainly TLV for me, The Last Visit !

Hm... I never noticed any issues with the acting, but I tend to have more difficulty assessing acting--I find the writing tends to get in the way.

Anyway overall it was a pretty good story, easily the best of the TLV audios thus far, and it left me pretty excited to see what the third story will be like. My only issue was the ending, where it felt like the Doctor was being a bit too "dim," or gullible, or what have you. He's acting far too trusting of the Daleks, and when they pulled that fake out--where the Doctor acts like he knew what the Daleks were talking about--I fully expected him to reveal that, yeah, he did know, because the way the story was written him doing anything else would feel too out of character.

If I were to have one complaint about an otherwise excellent story - theStrategist should have has a “sixties Dalek gun effect” rather than the standard “Time War Dalek gun effect”. He’s old, make him sound old.

I decided to take the plunge and got the bundle and this was first I listened to and treating it as a stand alone adventure it pretty much stood out more than most of the TIME WAR releases.
how it fits in to the whole TLV am not even sure I care tbh but for an hours Doctor Who and a McGann against the Daleks I thought it was pretty enjoyable...
