Doctor Who: The Memory Bank and other Stories

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 217th adventure of Big Finish Main Range ‘The Memory Bank and other Stories’ with the fifth Doctor and Turlough. This story has 4 parts with differnet little stories. They have nothing incomen except the Doctor and Turlough.

The memory Bank

It is a little story about how important memories are. Turlough and the Doctor lands in the Memory Bank where people had secured their memories. When you got forgotten in this world you die that is why they have this Memory Bank and Turlough with his great luck becomes the new archivator.
This stories is really sad and we got a few memories of Turlough. We all know that he doesn’t like his past life, his memories. Not everything is a good memory.

The Last fairy tale

The Doctor and Turlough stumple over a little town that is waiting for a storyteller. Turlough things the discribtion looks like the Doctor and brings them in danger. This story is more fun. The Doctor Turlough snipping at each other and mysterious storyteller makes a light funny story.

Repeat Offender

The Doctor got a call for help and arrives in a flat with an anconces woman. When both of them try to find out what is going on. The wife of the woman comes home and calls the police. Before the Doctor can do anything he finds himself in trail.
The story is a little crime story. How got killed and by who. Or was there even a murder? I really like this story.

The Becoming

This is my favorite story of ‘The Memory Bank and other stories’. Turlough and the Doctor meeting a woman on her pass to become what she is ment to be. It is a kind of ritual and these two just making things complicated.
I like this story the must because I love stories where we see that Turlough cares so much for people. Most times he has this wall and seems to only care about himself… we all know that is not true. But this one of the stories where he doesn’t hide that he cares but still doesn’t to get involved.

DW: Loups-Garoux

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 20th adventure of the Big Finish Main Range – Loups-Garoux. This is an adventure with the fifth Doctor and Turlough. It takes place in 2080 in Rio de Janeiro. Like the name of the story gives away it is about werwolves. The idea behind it is really simular to the idea of Wolfs Rain. In Wolfs Rain the wolves take the shape of humans or at least play with the sense of humans so that they see them as humans. Here the werewolves plays also with the sense of the human but in the way that humans don’t see them if they don’t want to be seen. By the way Wolfs Rain is an amazing Anime and you should totally watch it.

Werwolves and their probelms

The story is about the leader of the werwolves Ilena, who tries to find a cure for her sons illness. He lost himself in the wolf. But that is not the only problem she has. She is also on the run from the gray one. He is a very old werwolf – the first one, who wants Ilena as his mate. In all that the Doctor and Turlough apear.

Warm Welcome

The werwolves are not fond of the two arrivers. They play with Turloughs mind and bring out the dark side he is afraid of. In is fear Turlough tries to run form his dark side. He runs directly in the arms of the last party for the show down. Rosa is a mysterious girl who knows about werwolves and isn’t one herself. She has a silver blade with her and waits for the king of the werwolves.

Listing or not

The characters are not so interesting. I like Rose and the relationship she built with Turlough and I love stories with Turlough. Like I always mentioned he is one of the most interesting characters in Doctor Who. The story is not bad. It is a solid story almost every story from Big Finish. So yeah it is definitly worth listing too. I want more of Turlough and the Doctor.

DW: Singularity

Hey Guys,
welcome to the 76 adventure – Singularity – of the big finish main range. It plays it the 21th centuary somewhere after Warchild and before the Seeds of Death. In the timeline of the fifths Doctor and Turlough it is somewhere after the Resurrection of the Daleks. I love this story from the beginning.

Turlough

He is one of the most interessting characters on Doctor Who. Is at the beginning unsympatic, always thinks first of himself, he does what is best for him, he isn’t into the magic around the Doctor, he is kinda bored the travling, the adventures. He changes the most of all Companions i remember. He got alot scene to show this to us. He is the one that talks Lena out of changing history. He is conaticing to these people. I love him. He is also one of the Companions that likes the TARDIS. He never saw her as a thing, he always saw her as a living creature. This is again in this Story showing.

Lena

Lena is the reason why i love the stories with the fifths Doctor so much. She is losing everything. Friends of her die because, they got involved with the Doctor. Because travling with him she got make choices nobody have. She is always struggling from the first moment she met the Doctor. She is one of the companion that is at a point where she wish she never met the Doctor. She is a person we need more on Doctor Who. Because she is right. Most times he makes a great mess without really helping. He wants to help but he not always really does. This is something we need to remember.

Story

The Story is really good. We have amazing characters that works very well in the storytelling. The bad guys are not really what they seems like. It is a little surprising and it is bringing the question up of punishing for a crime before comitted. For me this is a pretty good story.
