DW: Pier Pressure
Hey Guys,
welcome to the Big Finish main range vol 78 ‘Pier Pressure’ it featured the sixth Doctor and Evelyn (Infos about Evelyn). It plays in Brighton in the end of 1936 and takes so place after Players. In the Doctors timeline it is betweeen ‘Thicker than water’ and ‘The nowhere place’. I promised me alot from that story because Evelyn is playing in it, sadly in the first two parts she got to sit on the sideline. But actually the guest stars are fun. The voice of the character Albert reminds me of David Tennant.
We will have enough time for this
The six and the seventh doctor are gotten darker again. When we got to know Albert and his girlfriend Emily, Emily said that they had enough time for all that nonsense. So my first tought was that Albert will not survive it. Albert is cocky and jumps to every possiblity to prove himself. He wants to get to Warner Brothers. Emily on the other hand is the voice of reason. It is important to have a job and don’t play around.
I really like these two and so i like that they are in the action with the Doctor, but why does that mean that Evelyn has to sit in the TARDIS.
He will come around
This is the first time i am a little annoyed by Evelyn. In the first episode she gives the Doctor shit and don’t take any shit from him. That is the Evelyn that i love. But in the second episode the Doctor send her with Max Miller to the TARDIS and she is just going. Because the Doctor knows what he does. I think it is established that the Doctor never knows what he does. This is something that Rose would do… (Don’t get it wrong i love Rose). But why does anyone does that?
The evil
This story is dealing with a darkness that is amazing. I love storys were you don’t know if you have a happy end or not. If it is just an endless circle or will be there a winner? Where light is has to be a shadow. That are the best stories. I don’t want to tell you more than this because the end needs to be heart not read. Just one thing this story has a darkness I love about he sixth doctor. There is no holywood solution just the truth. I promised me more of Evelyn but it is an good story and hopefully we have alot more stories were Evelyn got more to do.
