I’ve had a bit of a break from the 8th Doctor series, but I’ve decided that it is time to go back and pick up where I left off. So the next in the list of stories to listen to was ‘Other Lives’, which was an interesting story and at times quite touching too. It wasn’t part of a big story arc, and in some ways I quite like that. Sometimes when a story is part of a bigger arc it can end up not having enough of it’s own story and rely too heavily on the arc. Whereas stories that just have to stand on their own can sometimes be more adventurous as they don’t have to time down to closely with some big arc that constrains them.

You could argue that as it’s part of a series anyway it is tied to an arc, and that’s true to an extent as well, but even so I think the idea stands.

Anyway, it was a good story with a few nice twists. I enjoyed it, and it was a good one to get back into the 8th Doctor with.

It looks very nice, you can see it here, and it appears that there’s a new 8th Doctor box set coming out in December as well.

This 8th Doctor story is ok. Not one of my favourites, but one of those that I just need to complete my collection. It isn’t a bad story, it’s an early one from India Fisher’s time as the companion Charlie.

I’ve heard it before, but I’ll probably give it another listen just to see what it’s like again.

Another new 8th Doctor story. One with Nicholas Courtney so it’s bound to be a good listen.

This is an excellent 8th Doctor Story, with Simon Pegg in it too. I haven’t heard it for a long time, but when I did I really enjoyed it, so I’m looking forward to hearing it again soon.

I don’t think you can ever have enough Doctor Who to listen to.
