Doctor Who: Der Tod und die Königin by James Goss

3.0

I’ve been enjoying getting into the extended media of Doctor Who. It feels quite nerdy having books and audio dramas, very vintage, very retro, but I’m having so much fun. It’s also expensive but I’ve been getting around with some audios that are on Spotify and some books I’ve downloaded completely free.

This audio was the most memorable of the lot. Volume 1 is good all in all, but this one was the best of the lot, I think.

Donna falls in love with this guy who’s the future king of a country they’ve never heard of. Starts right in the middle of the adventure. They use flashbacks in an audio which gives way to funny bits and change of tone. The Doctor being a 3rd wheel is so funny, just interrupting every time Donna gets cozy with the future king. He’s all like ‘Adventure! Mystery!’ and Donna is like ‘God fucking dammit!’. She also doesn’t like life as a Queen but she’s all like ‘Is great, really. Fine. Just nice’.

The Doctor thinks that Donna is actually going to leave him and he goes into a rant about how he feels like he’s being abandoned and it never gets easier. He also makes a comment how his tin dog left him twice and it’s a funny comment in a rant that is actually kind of sad. Also he’s like ‘no man is going to be good enough for you, Donna’, like all fatherly love, or I guess best friend love.
