Doctor Who • Audio Dramas ░ Main Range 24: The Eye of the Scorpion 

aaaa this one was amazing!

It explored a period of history that the show rarely seems to want to touch (Ancient Egypt), created some interesting historical political drama and mixed it with alien influences...

it's so good

Doctor Who • Audio Dramas ░ Main Range 21: Dust Breeding 

Dust Breeding was so good... it's got one of my favourite things: a collection of events that seem completely unrelated, that slowly weave together to form one cohesive story.

It's also got the Master!
