4.0 out of 5 stars Strange indeed..., 17 Oct 2005
By Binro The Heretic "mattieboyz" (Hillsborough, Sheffield) - See all my reviews

Strange England

Strange indeed; this offering from New Adventures newcomer Simon Messingham is a sterling effort, remaining resolutely Sci-fi whilst eschewing the swathes of jargon and self-referential baggage often used by his predecessors.
The Doctor and his companions Ace and Benny find themselves in what appears to be a stereotyped English country house; replete with Butler, maidservants and the whole Upstairs Downstairs kit and caboodle. Appearances however soon prove to be deceptive, who is The Quack and why is he attempting to steal the Doctor's mind and destroy his companions? Who has unleashed the hideous flying insects intent upon draining the life from the local villagers? More importantly, how is it all linked to the Doctor's home and the Timelords?
Messingham takes a leaf out of DW stalwart Terrance Dicks' book; keeping the action going pell mell whilst retaining an original flavour and developing rounded and compassion-inducing characters throughout.
The series now appears to be hitting its stride - this is definitely one the New Adventures highlights - long may its success continue!
