BFA 30 Seasons of Fear

[beccaelizabeth]

Again!
It has explosions, and sword fights, and women running rings around men, and complicated timey wimey stuff, and a bit of a human redemption thing and a rather splendidly varied religion thing, and monsters with big scary voices, and a bit of a mystery full of clues which managed to be a bit mysterious and still tell you everything, even if it's not very surprising cause Paul Cornell told about it at the weekend. Oh, and it had the bad guy saying the title All In Capitals, which I feel is an essential part of the Doctor Who experience. Plus there's several kinds of funny mixed in with all the violence and moral dilemmas, which is rather win.
Also it has the Doctor with his shirt off, which would admittedly be more interesting if this wasn't an audio, but there's a bit of hurt/comfort, and him being a bit completely mad. As it should be.
And apparently he smells of honey.

So, basically, I want to hug this story, and start over listening again from the beginning.

But then just when you think it's all over there's a story arc bit at the end and suddenly I want to know what happens next as well. And I have what happens next on a disc right here. And if I was feeling more well and less dozy I'd have a dilemma on my hands. As it is I keep sneezing and I think I'm going back to bed.

It's one of my favourites. I loved the bit about Eight once getting accidentally engaged to Queen Edith (and clearly still being quite keen on her)

yes :-)

because he mumbled and ran away instead of sorting things out; clearly this is the Doctor and 'not supposed to see her before the wedding' isn't generally going to slow him down. It's wonderfully awkward and Doctorish and makes plot happen all at once :-)
I can totally see what he sees in her too, she is rather excellent.
