Doctor Who - Dead Air

[Stripes]

"Hello, I am the Doctor, and if you can hear this, then one of us is going to die."

(I was going to use that as the title, but it is too long.)

Forget everything you know about BBC Audio books. This audio goes by it's own rules.

I got a hold of Doctor Who - Dead Air. It is one of the many Ten audio books, shorter then the others, but by far the most brilliant one out there.

This is a audio that all who fans must listen, even if you don't listen to audios. It's Silence in Library meets Midnight.

The story starts differently then the other audio books, for a quick secound I thought it was something un related to the story. Then the doctor comes in with that line i posted above.
You truly do not understand what that line means, how ironic the first minute is until the very end of the story.

The story is in first person, in the Doctors POV. Which I have never heard before. It was interesting because we see his point of view yet we are not spoiled of the ending.

All the other audio books I have listen to just has someone reading a book to you, this, is was a mix of someones reading a book to you and a radio play. If you don't listen to radio plays, let me make it clear, they are nothing like audio books.
The sounds effects are interesting and simply, yet eerie.
David Tennant read/voice acted the story, if he didn't, this story wouldn't have worked.

I liked how there wasn't a large cast of characters like the other audios are. A simple five people, including the villain. I like how the companion is smart and useful by having basic sense best of all, she isn't in love with The Doctor. However, she doesn't flirt and fall in love with the doctor, she does giggle a lot. Yet she sees the doctor as an interesting person and kind of just fallows him around just for fun.

The ending, oh my gosh the ending. I can see a lot of David Tennant fans listening this for David and not truly understanding the ending. It shows that the doctor is smart, very very smart, but he can be also very naive, naive and a little cocky.

Oh... it's hard to not to spoil it, so pm me, i will send you links, then we can discus this brilliant doctor who story.

.... I so hope they don't make this into episode on the tv show, this is one of those stories that shouldn't be visual, it should be corrupt, it shouldn't have spin offs or squeals. It should be as it is.


Yes, awful review, yet I find it so hard to review it with out spoiling it. SO LISTEN TO IT NOW!

Also, if you want a David Tennant Scottish voice. You DO NOT get it. One he speaks in his doctor voice and 2. they do a lot of work on it... that and apparently he had a cold when he reordered it but I am not 1000% sure if it true.

Many DT fans are upset over the voice here is a comment one person wrote

"I HATE THAT THEY DEEPENED HIS VOICE. I didn't think it would bother me that much but I ended up raising the pitch of every track on Garage Band so that he'd sound completely normal. I thought it was a glitch in my file but srsly guys. Lame. If the pitch is raised it doesn't sound like he's ill at all. Good story though. Wish it'd been a bit longer! "

However, the voice messing is needed, seeing what the monster is and where they are. I liked the touch.

Hmm...this sounds intriguing, and a little bit spooky - I need to listen to this, I think...
