The plot thickens. So far we have the police thinking The Doctor is Jack the Ripper, stranded aliens meddling in who knows what, and the Doctor briefly showing his mean streak. Plenty of unanswered questions, most importantly – who is it that knows enough about The Doctor to set this trap for him?
Episode three may clear a few things up…

Continuing with the audiobook releases is ‘Game of Adventure’. This time putting 5th century Persia and a television show from another galaxy into the mix. As usual from DAM it’s a good reading and solid sound design. It’s on the DAM website in mp3 and pdf formats.

It’s also available, from an interesting site I’ve never come across before, as both an online ebook and streaming audio.
The ‘Legends of a Time Lord’ series continues. No gnomes of whatever stature as yet, but we live in hope. Episode one heard The Doctor arrive in London, the year is 1888. He quickly finds himself on the run after being mistaken for a murderer and possibly victim of an attempt to frame him. So far the story is off to a slightly slow start, with a little much of The Doctor muttering to himself at the start (compensating for the lack of a companion). On the plus side the audio quality is decent and the actors all capable. Also we may be in for a first in Doctor Who fan audios (correct me if I’m wrong) as things shape up for the first blind companion. We’ve already had the more audacious mute companion from the DWAD audios.
This should be worth following as the series finds it’s feet. Both episodes are available from their site. Here’s the second.

Meanwhile, The Doctor Who Audio Dramas kick off another new story ‘The Eyes of All’. It starts with a malfunctioning space probe.
It’s all happening at once this week. Four new releases.
First up Dam Productions have two more episodes online. The concluding part of ‘The Unforgiving World’, where we find out what’s causing trouble on the sand planet. The following release is another audio book style story, ‘It Ends Where It Began’. About a newly discovered gas that could replace fossil fuels, and the unforseen and deadly problems that arise.

Lastly, we have a new Dr Who producer to welcome to the fold. Giant Gnome Productions have released the first episode of their forthcoming series known as ‘Legends of a Time Lord’. They’re giving nothing away in the blurb, other than it’s a surprise filled trip to the 19th century. And I’ll do the same, so follow the link and listen to find out more. I’ll give a little more detail with the next episode.
Springheel Jack (part 1):
