Book Reviews of Doctor Who - Jubilee
Book Review: Jublie & Chimes at Midnight; both winners!
Summary: 5 Stars
Note: For whatever reason there seems to be an odd bug that prevents me from putting up two different reviews for Jublie & the Chimes at Midnight so I am incorporating reviews to both episodes at once: We will start with the Chimes at Midnight:
This story (Chimes at Midnight) was voted the best Dr. Who audio years ago. There are several audios that are in my opinion better The Eye of the Scorpion (Doctor Who), The One Doctor (Doctor Who) and The Condemned (Doctor Who) instantly come to mind but in terms of 8th doctor adventures it is hard to compete with this one.
The sheer suspense of this adventure as the Doctor and Charley find themselves trapped in an English Gentlemen's house in the early 20th century with murder, confusion and Plum Pudding and a clock whose chime brings death all about makes for a ripping yarn.
The plot is SO strong and the performances so good that it is amazing that it could be released just after the rather weak Invaders from Mars (Doctor Who).
A real Gem from the early Charley era, buy it!
...
Doctor Who Jubilee is one of the strangest episodes of the series you will listen to.
The Doctor and Evelyn arrive in an England that has been saved from the Daleks but appears to be in control of two different totally mad people. Will the Doctor be able to help and save the president or will Evelyn be able to help his wife to get them to where they are. Is the Dalek a prisoner or the true power. Will the Daleks finally slay the Doctor or will it be the other way around or both? And what about the Dalek song?
This story is so odd and throws so many curves that it is impossible to properly review it without giving away spoilers, so let me just say this...
Take the TV episode Dalek, mix it with Animal farm and add a confused Dalek a la Hugh the Borg and you get this story.
There is an odd comic turn to this story as well that will become apparent at the very begining as well but either way it is more than worthwhile.
