| The Story |
|
The sentence is hanging. Parking the TARDIS on double-yellow lines the crime. But this is a far from ordinary court.
The Doctor and Lucie find themselves in London - but in completely different periods of history. The Doctor ends up in
a 17th century court, whilst Lucie ends up hiding from Zeppelins in 1917.
Whilst trying to find the Doctor, Lucie encounters a river that appears and disappears at random intervals. "Yellow Beryl" warns her not to question the reason it is there - nor to cross it. The Doctor's new fellow prisoner, "Spring-Heeled Sophie", has a very powerful alien device in her possession. Just what is going on? And will the Doctor and Lucie make it back to the TARDIS? |
| Editor's Review |
|
Dead London is a pleasant tale. It's not as thrilling as Max Warp, but it has many strong elements
running through it. If you have ever watched The War Games, you'll notice a resemblance between the two. Much like
last year's audio, No More Lies, this story's starting point is somewhat odd. Fortunately, this episode begins in a
much more convenient place and doesn't have to make up too much ground because it starts after the story has begun.
Put in terms of good and bad, the acting in Dead London is reasonably good. The one exception is Sepulchre, who speaks in a hissed tone. Although it is an appropriate voice for the character, it does grate a little. Overall though, you won't be too disappointed by it. (Dan Ludlow) |
