Doctor Who: Day of the Cockroach by Steve Lyons, Arthur Darvill
3.0
This was okay. Nothing spectacular though. The Doctor, Amy, and Rory are in a 1980s British bunker in which a few humans have been tucked away for a few days now after the "4 minute warning" of nuclear war sent them into hiding underground. But someone has been sabotaging their equipment and lights; and someone or something has been killing and dragging them off, one by one. When our intrepid crew lands; they stumble upon a body and, as usual, are suspected of murder and sabotage...
There's nothing really new here and the Doctor is really light on the specific details of what's what; offering a few "options" but no real answer to what was fully going on and the solution after all the running around and fighting was not hugely satisfying. This is good for a simple hour of running and fighting monsters this one was passable with no great reader accents to note (Arthur Darvill still can't do a great Amy voice but does nicely with Rory's voice ;)) but no annoying speaker quirks either.
