Product Description

Product Description

Catherine Tate reads this exclusive thrilling story, in which the Doctor and Donna are imprisoned on the Edifice - and become neighbours to a terrifying assortment of aliens. When the TARDIS is invaded by a holographic marketing scam, the Doctor and Donna find themselves trapped on the Edifice, a purpose-built complex of luxury apartments in space. Their new environs leave much to be desired: millions of beings from across the Universe have been gathered to live side by side in similar apartments. Instead of creating neighbourly affection, it's led to terrible battles being waged in the corridors and on the stairwells.The Doctor and Donna must cross the paths of deadly alien mobs as they search for the Edifice's ultimate authority. Who - or what - lies at the heart of the incredible complex? What destructive scourge is eating away at the Edifice itself? And are the Doctor and Donna trapped forever in this living hell? "The Forever Trap" features the Doctor and Donna, as played by David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the hit BBC Television series "Doctor Who". Written specially for audio by Dan Abnett, it is read by Catherine Tate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pitch-perfect characterisation of the Tenth Doctor and Donna partnership, 10 Oct 2008
By Michele Fry (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
  
"Doctor Who": The Forever Trap: No. 2 (Dr Who Audio Original 2)

I know some folks have been less than impressed with Abnett's work for the Whoniverse thus far, but he has crafted a pitch-perfect story for the Tenth Doctor and Donna, and Catherine Tate clearly relishes reading it - on occasion she does a near-perfect impersonation of David Tennant's manic Tenth Doctor, and all her other character voices are easily distinguished from each other, and many really managed to convey aurally the charaters that I couldn't see. This audio novel is far superior to Peter Anghelides "Pest Control". I felt that Abnett created some interesting, original alien creatures and the story was well paced. Donna was incredibly Donna-ish - and I loved her to bits in this story. I cannot recommend it highly enough as it was a very satisfying story.

4.0 out of 5 stars lost in escher, 22 Oct 2008
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
following on from the talking book doctor who: pest control, which had david tennant reading an original doctor who story and doing lots of different character voices, it's now catherine tate's turn to do one.

like pest control, this is spread over two discs, each running for roughly one hour and ten minutes. there are no episode breaks in the middle of these discs, although there are chapters for ease of access, so essentially this is in two long episodes. the first does end on a cliffhanger.

the story involves the doctor and donna getting stuck in the edifice, a huge apartment block come space station. the place has dissolved into chaos as all the other residents, including some highly unusual aliens, are fighting amongst each other. can the doctor and donna find who runs the place and save the day?

catherine tate has an excellent reading voice and is good to listen to. she does a very good impression of david tennant as the doctor, and there was one point early on when I forgot it wasn't him speaking. she also does voices for many other characters. some of the male ones are a bit obvious but some of the alien ones are very imaginatives and work very well.

the story scores over pest control in that it's a bit more imaginative, both in the unique setting and the highly unusual aliens the doctor and donna meet on their way.

this possibly would be even stronger a piece of work if it was shorter, but that's a minor complaint as it's both an entertaining doctor who story and an enjoyable listen, thanks to the writer and the reader

5.0 out of 5 stars Forever is a mighty long time..., 8 Mar 2009
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
The world of Doctor Who continues to expand as this strand of original audio adventures throws up a tale featuring The Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble. The TARDIS is invaded by an aggressive form of marketing - `space spam' - and Donna inadvertently signs them up for a lifetime of living in their supposedly `ideal' home (a fully-furnished penthouse for Donna with a view of the Gallifreyan Mountains for The Doctor). The time-travellers soon realise that the term lifetime is literal; this is one contract that can never be cancelled and the pair discover they have become the latest victims of the forever trap...

Catherine Tate narrates this story, and her distinctive Essex accent actually seems to suit the subject matter, even if she does occasionally struggle to re-create The Doctor's buoyant tones. Her voice can also become too strident and intrusive on occasion, but overall she does a good job and the story is an engaging and ultimately well-written entry into the Doctor Who canon.
