McGann is very energetic to be around, liked his monologues musing over what he's doing and reading. Gareth Thomas excels as Lord Tamworth, who has a real journey. Those aliens reminded me of the Zeraphin! A bright and breezy start to the 8th Doctor audios. Charley is played with relish. #MiniKettle

This is a v cosy, entertaining adv with the two most pop Docs with the general public teaming up when they both need a breather. Like a lot of multi Doc stories it's the interactions which are the highlight, their talk about Sarah 😭 the Daleks are rather ambitious, but fail again 😂 #MiniKettle

13.2 How many times does Jago need to ask people to realise all is not well? 🤷‍♂️ interesting having a different relationship with Quick, Ellie and others. Madame Barthomelows plan and fate was? Were her servants just zombies? Jago just wants another pub! 😂 how the heck did he fool her?! #MiniKettle

The Fisher novelisation, which i've spoke about on @trapone.bsky.social before, is a breezy read with a more vile Count and a deeper analysis of Taran society and politics. Lamia is deservedly given expansion and delightfully the Taran wood beast is even given an ungraded description 😂 #MiniKettle

13.1 I thought a Rutan was gonna turn up with that cover!😂 the waking dreams are v disturbing, being a corpse and the other one was very familiar 😱 the chemistry between the cast is 👌loved the psychologist changing her tack 😂 Cara is absolutely ruthless and her 'trial' is deserved #MiniKettle

13.3 I loved this alternative look at J&L, and both actors played it so well, with subtle differences in their personas and their reactions meeting each other were thrilling. Weird noise for a rat isn't it, fit in his hall? V amusing Jago married the equivalent of X! That ray noise!! 😀 #MiniKettle

Outstanding character piece, this is a tour de force from Terry Molloy who is, frankly, terrifying. Bernard Horsfall also adds a lot of class as the foolish Baines. The flashbacks show how utterly evil and misguided Davros is, from his Hitler like rants to maniacial laughing. Just wow. #MiniKettle

This is a delightful 2 hours with the one and only Tom - a national treasure, witty, melancholy, full of great stories and reminding us all to just enjoy ourselves and don't waste time on trivial nonsense. Marvellous! #MiniKettle

Scary how much this is basically today's world! 😳 McCoy on the radio is his brooding best, and his fear of something happening to Ace is played perfectly. His confrontation with Pearce too is 👌 The 1st cliffhanger is pretty hysterical, but i loved the last ep. Funky dystopian 🎶 #MiniKettle

1. Davison is terrific in this, keeping us on top of the anxiousness, that final explanation is deftly done. That haunting Sistine wail and a broken priest 😟 Michaelangelo is a lovable Victor Meldrew who likes cheese 😂 marble weeping angels!! Very Broken Sword these DW hidden orders. #MiniKettle

Paul McGann is majestic, pulling the pieces together and has some terrific speeches. Overflowing with big ideas, is this the same guy who wrote 'An Alien Werewolf in London'? 😲 Romana as a dictator has to be heard! Chilling who these people are... regeneration worthy cliffhanger. #MiniKettle

Right up my street - its theatrical, has heightened characters and is very well written, with such funny dialogue. Nyssa pretending to ge a mercenary has to be heard to be believed! 😂 oh i give up! 😂😂 the assassin is absolutely useless. Tegan is probed about her travels at last. #MiniKettle

Thank you to @haemovoresrus.bsky.social, whose deep-dive Kettle & Some String podcast had a GLORIOUS resurrection this year. Dave's such a nice guy; he does lovely BigFinish #MiniKettle reviews & patiently endured my American accents when we did Dalek, but reserves all his rancor for Clara Oswald!😂

Tremendous, thought provoking stuff from @jonnymorris.bsky.social, this is the S24 story Sylv needed to perhaps be taken a bit more seriously that year. The Faragesque Celia is shockingly all too real and Daleks asking if you want a vol-le-vont is just too creepy 😂 isnt Bonnie just fab? #MiniKettle

The mid point is horrible, it's difficult to hear Evelyn like that.😪 gruesome sounds. The 1st part is the more successful. Nimrod is a right monstrous bastard, love the character though! Both Docs chill your blood at certain points, they are dangerous. McCoy again is best Doc at brooding #MiniKettle

A gentle reintroduction to War and we get to know this rather ashamed incarnation having a Meldrew at times. Hurt has a delicious voice. I know the Daleks! I KNOW them, aww Jac Pearce 😎 the soundscape is brilliant, the Gallifrey scenes especially. Time destructor!! 🚨😁 #MiniKettle

Matthew Cottle is brilliant as Hargreaves 😃 polishing the TARDIS with bees wax! 😂 Akunin is played v well too, he's as nutty as a fruitcake. This is an incredibly well structured puzzlebox of a story in a v clever setting. The regulars all excel with this strong material. Love this one ❤️ #MiniKettle

Full of twisted, odd ball characters. Sam Kelly is extraordinary, but I loved the dripping villainy of Peter Guinness 😂 signing a form to change religion! Channels S3 bloodbath in Part 4, astonishingly dark. The Docs speech to Frobisher is tremendous. Gumblejack! 🐟 hail the talking bird! #MiniKettle

DC 4.1 The Doc actually at one point gives up, and its Liz who drives this terrific script forward. Helen discussing the hope of her grandmother 😪 The trio have some home truths to air, and it strengthens them all to have the faith to get out of this mess. A glorious chamberpiece #MiniKettle

A sprawling dystopian epic, which I love. The Doctors moral conversation with Pryce is fantastic. Philip Voss' voice as X is superb, and he has some delicious ☕️ dialogue. Distracting the pursuirs with the local flies! 😂 the interjecting reports were done better in Live 34. #MiniKettle
April 23, 2025 at 7:12 PM
13.4 Brilliant David Warner is in this!, what a rich voice he had too. Wonderfully fun mash up of the different J&L's, the interactions are so enjoyable - Quick needs a lie down and Jago just wants the Red Tavern again! 😂 the ending is simple but who cares, its time with these characters #MiniKettle
September 27, 2026 at 3:21 PM
Im not a romantic movie person but Evelyn breaks your heart, she is hard on the Doc, but her character is REAL throughout. Her revelations later in the story 😪 Rossiter is the perfect counterbalance to her. Oh Tokol!! 😂 Doc squirming with a romance and skimming stones 😂 brilliant Baker #MiniKettle

Deflating like an overcooked souffle! 😂 McKenzie is clearly enjoying herself with her cackles😂 Reggie is adorable, i'm happy for him. The dialogue and tone of the story are magically fun with the final scene between Doc and Romana hysterical! Romana wants a quantum thery book 😂🙈 #MiniKettle
