Ahh this was so cute! Couldn't stop smiling because of Ten and Donna.

The first story in this collection is probably also my favorite, and it's titled Technophobia. Written by Matt Fitton, it's a quirk adventure, but no shorter than any of the episodes. In it, Donna and the Doctor have reunited again (not literally – it's set before their parting). There is an alien race working hard to bring humanity backwards a few steps in their technology, and this was their plan.
“Good as new. Give it ten minutes, they'll knock up another dozen landscapes. You see, the beauty of robots is they only ever do what they're told to do.”
Technophobia was fast, fun, and supremely quirky. Just the way I like it! Having the Doctor and Donna yell at one another is something that I will never get sick of. Seriously, it's so funny. Even when the world is crumbling around them, they find a way. This is a perfect listen for anybody looking for a good laugh, and really just a Doctor Who adventure in general.

Wonderful! Doctor and Donna goodness -- brings you right back to their era. The charcterization is spot on. And the plot idea revolving and society loosing their ability to use their own technology was a really interesting way of turning the standard tech is taking over trope.

Ten, my dearly beloved, oh, how I’ve missed hearing you say “Ah, would you look at that?”

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Just a lot of fun! Not a lot really happens but I had a great time listening to it.

This was not only my first Doctor Who Big Finish audio play, this was my first audio play ever. The only thing I have to compare it to are the couple of audiobooks that I've listened to. Let me say, this is nothing like that. This is 1000x better! It literally sounds exactly just like you're watching an episode of Doctor Who, just without the watching part. There are a couple of spots that you notice some expository dialogue (necessary in some cases, since you can't see what's happening), but those moments are few and far between and the play just runs as smoothly as you would expect any episode of Doctor Who to do. If you are reading this review because you are on the fence about listening to these audio plays, I am absolutely advocating it! I have found a whole new hobby to lose all my cash to!
