A Great Look At What Could Have Been

Revisado: 04-30-17

Although neither story is exactly 5 star material, they both are great for what they are. The first was definitely the better of the 2. I understand the criticism for the sexism in the story, but I can ignore it since no one with the tiniest shred of common sense can not know to expect extreme sexism from a story written in the 60s about women taking over and being as chauvinistic as men were in the 50s.

The second story sounded like it had potential, but I just couldn't get into it beyond the curiosity of a Dalek episode that never got filmed. I wish I had known before listening that it was the pilot for a spin off type show that was intended for American audiences. I would have listened eventually, but I would have been in no rush if I had known.

Frazer Hines performance as the Doctor is so perfect it makes the first story much more enjoyable than it otherwise might have been. I had to laugh, because in the extras when he talked about how he was trying to do the scene where the Doctor escapes, I had actually pictured the same scene in my head that he said he was trying to emulate.

A great look back

Revisado: 01-09-17

Definitely not the best Dalek story, not even by the standards of 1965, but this is definitely worth a listen to any fan who is curious about the history of the series.

Interesting idea, but boring

Revisado: 01-06-17

I couldn't get past chapter 5. A follow up to Robots of Death really sounded like it would be great, but there is just nothing interesting about this story.

I thought it would be better.

Daleks quoting Shakespeare sounds entertaining in theory, but in practice the story wasn't enjoyable at all. The full cast audio is what spared it a 1 star review.

Good War Doctor Story

Revisado: 12-11-16

This is the first War Doctor story I've given any attention to since his appearance in the anniversary episode. I think the only way this could have been better is if John Hurt had done the voice acting.

Great original Dalek story

Revisado: 12-08-16

The audios featuring the cast are always great. It was nice to hear Tom Baker in a Dalek story where Davros wasn't the featured villain. It was also cool to have Leela have a Dalek encounter too.

entertaining fairy tale parodies

Revisado: 12-07-16

Not a single bad story in the set. It was fun trying to figure out the ones that don't make it obvious what story they're based on.

Nice collection of stories.

Revisado: 12-06-16

I'm not good at reviews, but I can say with certainty that this set is worth listening to. I enjoyed every story. The only way it could have been better is if it had been read by the actors.

Wouldn't recommend it

Revisado: 12-03-16

Just stick with volume 1. At least the original stories in it were good enough to make up for the novelization of the TV episodes.

Goos, but not great

Revisado: 12-02-16

The TV episodes can be skipped, but the originals are still good enough to make this set worth listening to
