This is like comfort food in audio format. It isn’t necessarily the ‘Classic’ alternative to Day of the Doctor - its loud fast and action packed story would seem out of place in most eras of Classic Who - but it’s much more fun and exciting than the televisual celebration, and I still get a thrill hearing all these classic Doctors and companions together. In the end, the story barely matters, which is good because it becomes increasingly more neat and unsatisfying as it races towards its conclusion. What matters is celebrating Doctor Who in all its forms and styles, and making each one the hero of this story.

I'll have to rate it again when I relisten to the physical copy - but right now I'm riding pretty high on fangirling. Multi-Doctor story. All eight classic Doctors, yes, even the first three get to play along. Feel the fanlove that went into this production.

So much fun - the story, the music, all of it.

This is how the 50th anniversary is done! All eight of the classic Doctors are represented, and pretty equally. The first three Doctors never fully "materialize" but they are still represented (they managed to get pretty decent imitators, including Frazer Hines doing his excellent Second Doctor imitation). Each Doctor has a part to play in figuring out the mystery and defeating the Master. I enjoyed the 50th anniversary television special but I have to say this kind of blew that out of the water. Big Finish yet again outdoes anything Moffat comes up with! :D
