Torchwood: The Hope

Hey Guys,

finally I find the time to write about the amazing Big Finish Torchwood story ‘The Hope’. It is the 6 Volume of the 5 season. It is a story I was really excited about. The last adventure of Owen and Andy together ‘Corpse Day‘ were amazing so I really had high hopes for this story. The combination of Andi and Owen is something I never knew I needed and this story doesn’t let me down.

Doctor Harper

I love stories where we see Owen doing what he actually is. In Torchwood we don’t see him often in the role of a Doctor. Mostly he is working on dead bodies or aliens. So this are rare moments and I love them so much. Because he is such a great Doctor. He may dislike people or judge them but when they are his patients than they are just that his patients. He treats them the best he can no matter who they are. I like this side of him. It also one of the reason that I like this combie so much. Because Owen is more of a bad guy or tries to look like it and Andy is the nice guy.

No one understood

This story is so amazing because of the characters not just Owen and Andi but also the big bad – Megwyn Jones. Andy is sure that she killed a lot of kids. There is no doubt in him. But we see her as a woman that is about to die and wants to make amounds. You are here and asking yourself if Andy is right or maybe she is innocent? Or is she just playing?
The Chief Inspector is on the other hand really unsympatic. He acts like an idiot. Maybe he is not the good guy or is he just an idiot.

What really happened

I really don’t want to tell you more. Because this story is great and how they play with the characters is great. This story has so much more to offer us. What they put Owen through… Everyone should listen to this story. It is so amazing and I can’t wait to another adventure of Owen and Andy.

DW: Little Drummer Boy

Hey Guys,

here comes another Christmas story form the ‘Short Trip‘-Range ‘Little Drummer Boy’ from the second season. The first Doctor travels with Steven and Sara. Sadly I don’t know any other adventures with Sara Kingdom. I know that she exist and traveled with the Doctor but all the TV episode with her are not available on DVD… so this is actually the first time I hear a story with her.

Random landings

This story is mostly from Saras point of view. We got a lot of her thoughts and that would be more interessting if actually would know her story, but it also gives us in a few sentence a good summeray. That makes it a lot easier to get a grip of her character.
So in this story the Doctor tries to make random landings so the Daleks would lose their corse. But somewho they always end up at earth at christmas through the years.
So is a little boy named Robert. Of course our three heros try to find out what is behind all that. I really like the twist in this story that I didn’t see coming. It is all day excidents…

It is an interessting story. For me it is a little to happy end and in the same time not… So I don’t know where to put this story. But it is a good story and it is the first Doctor so go and listen to it.

DW: O Tannenbaum

Hey Guys,

merry christmas to all of you and to celebrate I got the Doctor Who Story ‘O Tannenbaum’ from the seventh season of ‘Short Trips‘. The story is about the first Doctor and Steven, who also reads the story. I love the ‘Short Trips‘ but I always find it hard to write something about it without telling you everything that happened. But like always I will try my best.

Christmas Trees

So what is the story about. The Doctor and Steven land before a old farmhouse near a forest of ‘christmas trees’. In this couttch they met a little girl named Greta, who is waiting for his father to come home.
It is not a horror story about it goes for a little creepy athmosphere. Music from a gramophone and the backround sounds a little creepy…that something is going to happen. I really like the atmosphere that they are creating. It didn’t feel like a christmas story but it kind is. A thing I love about the first Doctor is that he changed so much over all the season so much. To listen to the Doctor giving his speech is great and I have to thing of where we started with this Doctor.

It is a great story, with great atmosphere and I love the ending.
