4.0 out of 5 stars top of the pops, 22 Mar 2007
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Third in a new series of audio stories for paul mcgann's doctor who. These follow the model of the current tv series in being complete stories in fifty minutes, with the occasional two parter. The doctor's companion is lucie miller, a girl from blackpool who has been put with him by the time lords for protection as she saw something she wasn't supposed to. The two don't entirely get on.

In this story they arrive at a motorway service station one night in 1974 to find the place under attack by strange monsters. Many doctor who stories have involved humans trapped in a remote location under attack by monsters, so this follows that pattern. It's a very conventional story in that respect - a surprise as it comes from a writer who has previously done very inventive and unconventional stuff - but there are lots of incidental delights along the way.

Paul Mcgann and Sheridan Smith who play the doctor and lucie have a wonderful chemistry together. Some of the people in the service station are pop stars on their way to appear on top of the pops. And some are former pop stars whose careers didn't work out. The story thus reminds us that for everyone who makes it in the music industry there are plenty who don't. This is emphasised even further in a superb scene where lucie discovers that a little foreknowledge can be a dangerous thing.

A fast moving doctor who story complete in fifty minutes - well, almost, as there's an ongoing plot that runs throughout these in regards to precisely what lucie saw, and the final scene deals with that - which is fast moving and involving, and all the better for being relatively conventional. Well worth listening to, especially for the closing music which is a glam rock remix of the doctor who theme and really quite superb

5.0 out of 5 stars a must have for any fan!, 5 Nov 2009
By L. S. Hammond "Lousara" (South Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
i bought this cd after finding out about Stephen Gately taking part and having been a fan of the recent tv show with David Tennant.

i thoughly enjoyed it, even though i have never bought an audio cd before. it was so well done it feels like a show without the visual. the sound effects and music add to the feel of the episode.

the cd comes with interviews with the cast of the drama and the song "Children Of Tommorow" sung by Stephen Gately and Clare Buckfield.

5.0 out of 5 stars The early 70s never went away!, 15 Jun 2009
By Mist of Time "Mist of Time" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Named both as an allusion to the Sylvester McKoy 'Fang Rock' story and a descriptor of the early 70s, this story is set in a motorway services late at night when the only occupants are kitchen staff, various glam rockers travelling post gig and some monsters trying to break their way in, apparently to destroy everyone inside. Into this maelstrom (did I mention the snow storms?) coem the Doctor and Lucie.

There is a lot to like about this:
1) We meet Lucie's Auntie Pat as a young woman who reappears next season in the Zygon who Fell to Earth, another rock & roll story
2) Bernard Cribbens is excellent as the dodgy dealer manager who comes good right at the end
3) The location - why are more stories not set in a service station? This is clearly the UK equivalent of a motel - random visitors, isolated, lots of corners. I really like that this is one of the services with the bridge over the motorway where the story culminates.

As to the series, yes this is a one-off but note that relations between the Doctor and Lucie are much improved as they grow more used to each other.

I orignally gave this four stars, but have now decided it's a five; I may even listen to it again soon!
