A nice, basic Who story set in the time after the Doctor and Donna seperated. Some interesting characters and good descriptions of events. There even got to be a very interesting companion. The problems I had were that it was rather predictable and those good descriptions got a bit repetitive.
I would like to see this story expanded into an episode, or more about the Doctor with his companion, but it is entirely too late for that now.

I stopped caring about halfway through, but since it was short I finished it anyways. It's very forgettable. It also doesn't feel like a Doctor Who story.

I enjoyed Michelle Ryan's performance a whole lot more than I thought I would. The story itself was fine, but it's a Doctor-only story, and I think I prefer Doctor-and-companion stories overall.

A bit too dark and not funny enough for my taste. I like DW best when it's more fun than danger.

Solid Doctor Who audio adventure. Feels just like an episode of Doctor Who.

Oh my! This was amazing! One of the more angsty Doctor Who stories I've come across - but oh it was beautiful and rather profound! Like I said, how I wish it was an episode! I was visualising everything happening as I was listening to it - and I thought the story fitted perfectly along with The Tenth Doctor - I definitely recommend this to fellow Whovians :D

A really enjoyable story, featuring David Tennant's Doctor. Michelle Ryan does an excellent job with the narration.
