Now that is interesting. I assumed there would be a bit of time shift since "The Death" occurred and the events in Volume 9 (the CD of which arrived this morning! 😊), but twenty and fifteen years respectively was definitely NOT what I was expecting. It opens the door to some serious world building from the writers and removes a lot (not all mind you..) of the limitations of the TV series continuity. Consider me very, very intrigued. Which means I better squeeze in an epic relisten as soon as possible.. |

I am very much looking forward to this .I always remember the original shows and then having 9 series of the audio just built on that apocalyptic theme.It is also great to imagine our world if it had been decimated in the 70s no internet,mobile phones,touch screen technology,what would the Survivors actually miss and more so what would those children of the Survivors really want.They wouldn’t be worried about recycling or climate change as they would only see local things,they are just restablishing global connections,and as we all know a virus is far more fear inducing than masses of zombies.establishing just a mail service and trying to get repairmen for appliances and maybe telephone lines.This series does the difficulties of living in such an age so very well...to jump fifteen odd years and seeing the changes will be an exciting set up...how are they making clothes how are they establishing grinding for bread etc,is everyone knitting woolly scarves and bonnets and brewing puccine 😂
it is sad we can’t have Ian’s McCulloch resurrected but hey...it isn’t Doctor who when your dead your dead
Well not long to wait now ❤️

So, what to listen to first? The first part of New Dawn, or the second part of the new Ninth Doctor set?
I never knew life could be this tough!!

Tethered by Andrew Smith
Abby Grant is heading home on a tragic mission when she meets an apparent Good Samaritan, who may be nothing of the sort. And in Cambridge, the seat of the New Federal Government, the Prime Minister tasks Law Minister Jenny Richards with a secret assignment. Both women soon find themselves in deadly peril.
Well this is a very very interesting beginning and can see the best of humanity coming out in the first tale(am joking of course).
We have a very different world emerging and dramatic isnt the word.Abby and Jenny have definitely and plenty of characters to dislike.They will eventually need to make a stand in this new world.Full of dramatic potential Andrew Smith has delivered a great script to kick it off full of little progresses in the world we left behind in set 9 and not necessarily for the better.Thrilling kick off
as an opener 5/5

1.2 My Generation by Katharine Armitage
Abby is on the run, and Jenny risks her future to protect her. An old friend, Jackie Burchall, is also eager to help. But when Abby falls in with an activist group called The Veil, it jeopardises everyone.
we continue to build this NEW DAWN and as far as i can see its just like the OLD DAWN.And not everyone will make it out alive 🥳 and that can be a good thing too 😂
and onwards to story 3

1.3 Behind You by Roland Moore
Abby remembers Leonard Cross as the awful children’s entertainer who came to one of her son’s birthday parties before the Death. She doesn’t expect to find herself relying on him as she recovers from injury and tragedy. And he may be even more awful than she knows...
My only quibble would be a lot of the young male vocalists all very much sound the same to me i suppose it will take a few listens to distinguish if they are to be continuing characters,older actors no problem and wee side note Jacqui has great hair according to script not so on the cover artwork 😂

(Mild spoilers follow ...)
Good to have this back, although I get the feeling these two sets are intended to finally close the series.
Interesting side detail about Scotland.
Poor old Jackie proves to be a weak link in the chain again. Naive, means well, but never the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Abbey's sole reason for continuing is shockingly dealt with in the opening scenes, leaving us in no doubt that although years may have passed in the fiction of the piece, but we're still in for a grim and bumpy ride. Poor Abbey. 'The Death' may have been an apocalypse, but as ever, the real dangers are Humans With Power - decadent, degenerate and rotten to the core, to use a fairly well-known quote. The worrying thing is, if this were real, this is probably what would actually happen. One fairly reprehensible person gets ripped off by someone evern worse, and so it continues. Her chirpiness sometimes seems at odds with the overwhelming
hopelessness of her sdituation, but its good to see her retain the
strength she had in earlier stories.
Nice ambient incidental music by Nicholas Briggs.
Lies, deceit, back-biting and violence - another day in the office! Welcome back, Survivors.

You're absolutely right - it'll be interesting to see what happens next! |

Yes some parallels but i think its good to remember this is a society that would not have progressed as our own did i need to go relisten as am sure i heard a line Transformers Lp mentioned? And that definitely would not have existed but i may have heard wrong.(feel free to correct me). I actually as a kid folllowed this program and having heard tales from my Grandparents of the Spanish Flu which some survived but their siblings did not this was a reality. |
