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. http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1286105.html#cutid2 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. no reviews | add a review
An exciting audio original adventure. The TARDIS arrives in an 18th Century village in the Yorkshire Moors, where livestock has been vanishing from the farmland and strange lights have been seen in the skies. Something is very wrong here, and he soon becomes involved in a nightmarish adventure, in which he is helped by a young local woman named Charity. Who is feeding on the blood of the locals, and where will the carnage stop? Written specially for audio by Scott Handcock, "The Rising Night" is read by Michelle Ryan, who played Christina in the TV episode "Planet of the Dead." No library descriptions found. |
