8th Doctor: Dark Eyes – The Great War

Posted by on in Books and Audiobooks

Dark Eyes The Great War cover

As I’ve just watched the entire 5 seasons of Primeval (more about that another time) it was interesting to notice that the voice of Molly in this 8th Doctor story was Ruth Bradley, who was in the last few episodes of Primeval. This first part of dark eyes is a great set up for the story, and even though I’ve heard it once before I’m really enjoying it. Paul McGann is such an unsung hero of the Doctor Who world. I personally think that his audio stories are simply excellent, and dark eyes is up there with the best he’s done.

So I’m looking forward even more to dark eyes 2 which is coming in the not too distant future, and also finishing listening to this story soon as well.

These apps are so old that when they first came out we weren’t calling them apps. They were applications, or software! But they’re still good, still work, and are usable.

It’s all part of my ‘make the Axim’ useful project. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I realise that this album came out last year, but I only just gave it a listen, and I’ve been really impressed by it. It’s some great synth pop, and I love synth pop! In fact, some of the sounds and the song construction is very reminiscent of the last Yazoo album. I think it’s a great album and I expect to be listening to it for some time to come.
