another audio adventure for paul mgcann's doctor who and his current companion, feisty northern girl lucie miller, played by sheridan smith. Like all the others in this current run this is a one part story complete in just over forty five minutes.

The story involves the tardis arriving in a small town in sussex. and the tardis crew quickly find all is not right. tims is standing still here, and nothing has changed since 1991. A local girl has gone missing.

What is the mystery of the town?

and the armored personnel carriers that keep appearing.

Not going to say too much about the plot because you won't immediately suspect what is going on here and it's a real pleasure to see how this story unfolds, taking a good few twists and turns on the way. long term fans will find a novel use of something established here that will appeal. The supporting cast are all very good, and again one of the strengths of these is the superb chemistry paul mcgann and sheridan smith have together. lucie does get a little sidelined in the second half of the story into the more usual companion role of making comments and asking questions but she does it so well she's still very appealing.

There's no story arc - yet - in this current batch of audios so you can pick it up without having listened to the previous ones.

as usual the disc ends with 19 minutes of interviews with cast and crew, and a trailer for the next story in the range.

and to avoid spoilers you might want to not read the inlay till after hearing the story, as there is something there in one comment that could give things away.

another fun entry in an enjoyable range
