DW: Something inside

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 83 adventure ‘Something inside’ form the big finish main range. This adventure is playing somewhere after the Divergent Universe – in which this story should original take place. I assume that it also plays after Time Works. Inside the Story is no time given. So it would be a perfect fit for the Divergent Universe.

Here we go again

Big Finish want to make fun of me. This story is again a story with the future and than going to listen what happend. It feels like the story got to the start very fast. But i still dislike this way of telling stories. Again C’rizz, Charley and the Doctor lost each other again. I love it when every character can shine and this time it would be Charley. But here we see that there must be something new to be an interessting story.
The human nature is always the most interessting and this team around the time lord are amazing characters.

The human nature

There was a war that the humans couldn’t win. Everytime the humans can’t do something they found another way. This time the made a mashine that turns humans in telecnatic persons. After the war was over they tried to reverse the progress what didn’t functioned. The only other solution the humans can bring up is to bring this people into a special prison. Isn’t this a typical story about our nature. The story is really good and it makes a lot of fun to listen too.

DW: Time Works

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 80 adventure ‘Time Works’ of the main range of Doctor Who. It is another adventure with Charly and C’rizz and of course our lovely eigtht Doctor. This story was planed as a story for the Diverenge Universe but it takes place now after that events.

Clockwork

What happends between the tick and the tock? The Story is really interessting. So what is it about? The story is about time. The three of them lands in a land where everything stand still. All the people just stopped and they all have watches. So time even when there isn’t one seems really important. Of course this not the only thing. The Doctor doesn’t want to stay. He wants to go back to the TARDIS, but on the way back something goes wrong like always with the Doctor. C’rizz and Charley are still trapped in the stopped time. The Doctor lands in the moving time again. So he is in the tock and the others still in the between. What gives us my favorite option to have the Companion alot of action without the Doctor. So the two try to find the Doctor again. The Doctor tries to save these two.

The two sides

They people in that land just live for anything anymore. There is just working and sleeping. How can not work or not work good enough get dispossed. This is making us ask what is life really about.
C’rizz has that talent to find the people the right people, that explain him what happend. This ‘computer’ is building a new world – rebuilt. The quest is to make sure there is still something for the next generation.
What i really like is that C’rizz have an good developement. He cut himself a little loose form the Doctor. He is like hiding behind him. Almost every sentence starts with the Doctor would say.

What i like about the story is that in between it is told like story. An Offspeaker is telling us about the clockworkman and the voice of the woman is really intimedating. She makes an amazing job. It is a good episode. Not special, not extraordinary but a good story and nice to listen too.

DW: Other Lives

Hey Guys,
this radio play ‘Other Lives’ is the 77th adventure of the main range. It is not the next adventure with C’rizz but it is an adventure with C’rizz and Charley (in this article you find a short describtion to her – http://www.whovianandtvseries.com/doctor-who-scherzo/). The story plays in 1851 on the Great Exhibition (Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations – London, Hide Park – Crystal Palace). In the timeline it is after the haunting of Thoma Brewster and before The next doctor. For the 8th doctors timeline it lie after Scaredy Cat.
One notion before we talk about the radio play. On this radio play the ‘coming soon’ is before the story starts, which is a little bit annoying but yeah.

Again we meet

This is the first audio story featuring the Duke Welligton. The second is ‘the Curse of Davros’. In this two stories he doesn’t have a direction interaction with the Duke. But he met him before. First the second doctor met him in the year 1805 and 1815 (PROSE: World Game). Somewhere later on the Doctors timeline he visted the Duke and makes a trip to Brighton. The Sixth Doctor was at the battle of Waterloo (PROSE: Players).

In this story the Duke seems kinda inconsquence. It feels like he his two different persons. Sometime is a nice old man, who have an really sweet conversation with Charly and than he is like ‘I am the Duke. I can do what i want’. But mostly he is a nice man that help them.

Team Dynamic

I can’t say much about it. Because i didn’t heart the stories. But it seems a little bit like Charly and the Doctor are going of for adventure and C’rizz stay in the TARDIS. Okay it just started like it. The three are a good time, because everyone of them has the talent to find problems and bring them in worse situation. What i really like about the story is that all three have their fair share of the story and had an adventure of their own. They are not limited to the Doctor.

Doctor, the Husband

The Doctor gets so many problems. The couple de Roche are the victims of a assination act. The Doctor saved them and it seems like they vanished with his TARDIS. But the Doctor has now bigger problems. He get accused of being the one that tried to kill the couple. Before he got to trial, a woman Georgina Marlow, is saying that he is her husband. He seems to look like her husband and is drawn into a family problem.

Alone in the streets

Charly is an amazing character, who never should her mouth and this story so no exception. She has a big mouth that make her meeting with the Duke really amusing. When she saw the person with pistol, she goes to warn them. All it brings her in is that, she had to leave the Great Exhibition, when it closed and met a guy – Rufus Dimplesqueeze – who wants to sleep with her, because he things she is a prostitute. She ends up alone in the nigth on the street. She is searching help at the Dukes house and is drawn into a politics.

Like Zoo

C’rizz falls in the hands of a really bad man – Jacob Crackles – that take him to make him part of show of freaks. This is one of the amazing part is that this adventure is not just really in time. It acctually make the different appearing to an theme. Many time they let it slip under the carpet. Like Martha in the time of Shakesphere and so on. But here it is aknowledge that C’rizz is looking different than other and this is what brings him in the trouble. He is trying to keep his dignity. His cell companion gave it away already.
C’rizz is not working with our moral believes. He is ready to hurt people who hurt him.

I love this story. It puts everyone in a new position. It is a totally historic story and no big bad or something. This are stories i really really miss. It just happend a few things. I love how everyone have their own storyline and the Duke and Mr. Fazackerly are amazing guest stars. The only thing that is a little special is that the Doctor tell that he never saw himself as a family man. But he already had family…But this is just one thing. For everyone listen to it. It is amazing and fun and just life.

DW: The Creed of the Kromon

Hey Guys,
here comes ‘The Creed of the Kromon’ the second adventure in the Divergent Universe with the eighth Doctor and Charley (Sherzo was the first adventure). It is the 53 part of the Big Finsh main range and plays somehow after Sherzo.

New Characters

The Doctor and Charley get to know alot of new people. One of the C’rizz is a future companion. C’rizz is a really interessting character. He is loyal and intelligent. He do stuff on his own and don’t wait for the Doctor and his plans. He is not impressed with the Doctor talents, he just like him. The most i love his sacrsm. He is ready to do would has to be done. The Ooorg is another friend. That is a big help for them in the story.

Kromon

The Kromon held other species captive and make them their willing slaves with a fluid they have to drink. They let them work for them and breed for them. C’rizz escaped from them and met the Doctor and Charley. But he is not long free. The Kromon capture them all. The Kromon is a specie that is from the structure totally defierent from the humans. So the do alot of science. The planet they are living on has not enough water for the Kromon, because of the twos suns they have. So they want travel in Space and they also make experiments to clone them.

Break out

The story is alot about break out, get captured and break out again. All three characters have a lot time to shine and their own. Even when it is the same in the episodes it is never boring. C’rizz is making the story really interessting. This story shows us again that Doctor Who doesn’t live because of the Doctor. This story is carried by C’rizz and his interaction with the Ooorg and Charley. The chemistry between them is really amazing and also the chemistry between him and the Doctor is working really good. So we will have a lot of fun with these three characters.
