Short Trips #6.10

Released: 19 October 2016

Placing this one here pretty arbitrarily. The plot involves the Doctor and Peri showing up, helping a planet, and then being presumed dead because of a legal loophole, which separates them from the TARDIS. Peri seems to be grumpy with the Doctor, much more so than usual, and the Doctor himself seems a little more arrogant. In fact, I forgot that this was supposed to be a Fifth Doctor story, because it seems to work equally well with the Sixth, which isn’t a great sign. Nicola Bryant plays the narrator and several other characters in her native accent, which makes a nice contrast when she slips into Peri’s voice.
