I just came with a massive theory regarding the next two volumes of Stranded. In the first volume, a mysterious man with futuristic technology named Mr Bird blows up a MedTech building and is revealed to be spying on the Doctor for some unknown reason. And then, in the second volume, we find out that (though the Doctor doesn't) that the leader of Divine Intervention in Earth's alternative dystopian '1984' style future is actually Robin pretending to the Doctor in a sort of 'Big Brother' type role. I like to call him the 'Divine Doctor' for differentiation's sake. So, there's my theory. It's kinda similar to how River turned out to be Amy's daughter, Melody. Melody=Song. Pond=River. Robin is a type of Bird so what if Mr Bird is an older Robin/Divine Doctor (Or perhaps his descendant/clone) from the future! What if he's trying to stop the Doctor from foiling his plans to rule future Earth and turn humanity into a xenophobic anti-alien empire by going back and spying on him and blowing up that MedTech building to stop him gaining some important supplies! So that's my theory! Super hyped for Stranded 3 this December. Keep waking up every morning waiting for the new cover and story details! I've not listened to Stranded, but I like your thinking!

Dood, ya' gotta fix that ASAP! Stranded is so, soooo good! Which is why it's so frustrating that there's so much time in-between each set. Seriously, it's nuts that in-between Stranded 2 and Stranded 3 there Are three 9th Doctor Adventures boxsets and the entire Dalek Universe trilogy. Maybe there's something iffy going down in the Big Finish offices, or maybe they just know how good it is and that they can therefore afford to make us wait for so long in grueling anticipation.... I know sometimes I have a certain tendency towards excessive verbosity. (excessive verbosity excised)Kestrel, your reviews are always so thorough, why don't you have a website?! Not that I don't appreciate your opinions here, of course! ALSO: The Robin = Bird thing is so obvious now that it cannot be anything else in my mind. Really looking forward to this story continuing in December; feels weird that it's been so long - Dalek Universe will have released all three sets between Stranded 2 & 3! Thank you for the kind words! I actually do have a(n ugly) blog... that I haven't updated in more than a year... the thing about a website is that once you've got one, it becomes an obligation, yeah? And I don't really think of myself as writing reviews... more long, tediously overblown comments/reactions. Hence the frequently overused bullet-point format--because who really wants to have to bother with transitions? That said I probably will put some Doctor Who stuff up on my blog eventually, if only because I'm having trouble remembering everything and could really use something handy to refer back to when it comes time to dole out recommendations. Some of my favorite stories here have really unmemorable titles, yeah? It's not just me with the crap memory, right?

Dead Time. This was an enjoyable solid start, very reminiscent of The Time Machine with the travelers seeing time pass outside their machine as in the George Pal film & the desolate future very similar to the world the time traveler finds himself in towards the end of Wells' novel. But Robin was really annoying & already we have the Doctor not stranded at all in 2020! So the basic premise of how this box set was sold to us was a lie. & we are travelling again in the next story.

UNIT Dating, a really poor story. I think there were attempts at humour but couldn't tell as it was all so flat & boring with very clumsy writing & dialogue - nothing felt like it organically grew out of the story. & again we have Doctor Who not really being that stranded now able to move in space as well as time - before he couldn't change location now he can? Not heard any stories with Andy before this range & have no interest given how bland a character he is - is there a point to Torchwood characters being in this story? & we have 2 more residents of Baker Street who just happen to have previous experience of the Doctor. Not very inspired to carry on with the next stories tbh.
