Doctor Who: The Nemonite Invasion
by David Roden (BBC Audio, 2009)
Donna is afforded some romance but this WWII base under siege story is otherwise unremarkable; worse, its narrative throws off sparks of cliché and relies on the Doctor having wilfully unleashed an already contained menace (which he then — brainwave — seeks to re-contain).
Doctor Who: Pest Control
by Peter Anghelides (BBC Audio, 2008)
