Audiobook cover: “Doctor Who: The World Tree” by Nick Slawicz; read by Lisa Bowerman (Big Finish, 2022)

A single-note story but one that carries its premise well. Slawicz captures the Eleventh Doctor’s warmth and his childlike yet ageless appreciation of everyday people and their inherent worth as individuals. Nora Wicker is a believable character, ably portrayed by Lisa Bowerman.

Doctor Who: The Lichyrwick Abomination

by Joe Vevers; audiobook read by Jacob Dudman (Big Finish, 2021)

Doctor Who: The Lichyrwick Abomination (audio release cover)

A curiously meandering short story. While Vevers focusses on moodiness and setting, the core of the premise itself—Malcolm’s guilt—becomes lost in the mist. Dudman’s reading goes some way towards salvaging the production but it’s still a bit of a muddle.
