Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures by Peter Anghelides
4.0
Pest Control by Peter Anghelides - read by David Tennant. The Doctor and Donna face monstrous insects and a ruthless robot exterminator.
3/5 - Not a huge fan of the militaristic setting, but memorable enough enemies.
The Forever Trap by Dan Abnett - read by Catherine Tate. On the Edifice, the Doctor and Donna become neighbours to a terrifying assortment of aliens.
4/5 - Loved the interplay here between the Doctor and Donna, and the setting was fun. A little handwavy with the ending maybe.
The Nemonite Invasion by David Roden - read by Catherine Tate. The Doctor and Donna fight for their lives against aliens in the Second World War.
3.5/5 - I might have been distracted while listening to this one, but wasn’t huge on Donna’s subplot. The nautical stuff was neat though.
The Rising Night by Scott Handcock - read by Michelle Ryan. The Doctor is plunged into a nightmarish adventure in 18th Century Yorkshire.
2/5 - Was very not sucked into this one. Maybe it’s because it was read by someone who (while a fine reader) wasn’t either the Doctor or Donna themselves.
The Day of the Troll by Simon Messingham - read by David Tennant. In a barren England of the far future, something is preying on people - and the Doctor...
4.5/5 - I liked the setting and the climate change narrative.
The Last Voyage by Dan Abnett - read by David Tennant. Terror ensues when the Doctor joins the maiden voyage of a pioneering space cruiser.
5/5 - David Tennant is such a good reader and actor. His voice for Sugar should have gotten irritating but it never did, and he did a great job with the cast.
Dead Air by James Goss - read by David Tennant. The Doctor faces an enemy of pure sound. Who can he trust in the dark?
5/5 - Not much imagery but that’s kind of the point. I really liked the first person narrative. It’s an experiment with telling a an audio-based Doctor story that could only work in this specific medium and it works.
