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

The Doctor lands in an 18th century Yorkshire village where a landmark called Lucifer's Tombstone has been disturbed and something demonic has been awakened. This was an OK story, but a bit too formulaic (perhaps unavoidable because it's so short) and the audio-reader isn't engaging at all, so this wasn't entirely enjoyable, unfortunately. ( )

Another audio original, read well by Michelle Ryan, with a very similar plot concept to The Nemonite Invasion - 'orrible alien incursions in historick England, in this case 18th-century Yorkshire. The Doctor, post-Donna, pitches up in a village covered by darkness where the people are turning into zombies. The problem I had was that the villagers seemed rather unconvincing - the Lady Christina-equivalent able to browbeat them despite being in her early twenties and not obviously a toff (apart from accent). I was also rather unconvinced by the ending which felt like the author was trying to imitate RTD rather than finding his own voice. ( )
