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.
