About this deal

Il Dottore si trova a Berlino durante le riprese del film Metropolis, giusto per scoprire che il regista non intende usare una androide, ma un cyberman naufragato sulla Terra.

Turlough's dynamic with activist Fionn is also excellent, showing a partnership between a woman and a man that is refreshingly devoid of any sexism and filled with mutual respect. However, I have a historical correction to make- Hitler's Putsch (coup?) happened it Munich, which is the capital of Bavaria. Hitler was imprisoned in Bavaria and in prison, he wrote "Mein Kampf". I suspect what will make or break this story for listeners is what they make of the guest characters - most of them female, and all of them played by non-white actors. One of them is a blithering idiot with no redeeming features, a two-dimensional cutout who is there just to be an obstacle to the others. The main guest character, however, played by Rakie Ayola (from Noughts and Crosses among other things) is much more ambiguous and played with consummate smarm. She's clearly not a very nice person, but she's also bright enough to grasp what's happening when others don't, and isn't a straight-up villain, her actual stance and motivation being unclear at times. This set was released last Doctor Who Day. Funny thing about "The Hunting Season" is that it's set in November 1936, and just yesterday I listened to "The Fall of the House of Pollard," which is also set in November 1936. I wonder what the days were and whether Charlotte could've met Nine had either of them gone the distance. Anyway, the Fleshkin made for an interesting threat. "The Curse of Lady MacBeth" is my least favorite of the set, but still pretty good. There's some nice humor when The Doctor jokes about home cinema now being a thing. This story is so much fun, messy, but fun. The clashing of history, mythology and sci-fi makes for such an unpredictable story with an amazing atmosphere, which would be nothing but dressing if not for the incredibly well written characters, properly great drama and intense set pieces. I also felt that 9 specifically really shone through here, there's a subtle intensity that just feels right. Sure, the plot gets lost in the magic of it all sometimes, but it still comes together in the end. Or it could just be the accents, god I love the Scottish accent.These burns typically take 2–3 weeks to heal. Sometimes a person needs a skin graft to treat them. Second-degree burns often leave a scar, which may fade over several years. Third-degree burn

Jonathan Groff (Chad Meyer) I am so thrilled to jump into the extraordinary mind of Russell T Davies and watch the incredible Ncuti Gatwa soar in this iconic role! — Jonathan Groff The Hawthorn Family is being plagued by monsters that keep on shouting the word 'flesh' presumably with ravenous hunger. The Doctor arrives to investigate and it seems things aren't quite as simple as they first turn out to be. A first-degree burn, or a superficial burn, is relatively minor. It only damages part of the first layer of skin, called the epidermis. I also think the Doctor in here is more serious, less happy than in the previous 2 stories and transports well the seriousness of the situation as well as oncoming threat of what is coming to Berlin.

On TV

History created through fiction. As some of the best historicals in the franchise's history, John Dorney cleverly uses this story to explain why the Machine Man is called that, even though it looks like a woman (and it makes perfect sense, honestly) as well as how Gustav Fröhlich came to land the leading part. I also really liked the dynamic of Five and Turlough in this story. This is from the time at the end of S21 when they are having adventures alone, and you can clearly see that the bond between them has deepened, with Five being outright distraught for more than one episode when he is told that Turlough has allegedly died in the explosion caused by the accident, the inicial scene also acting as an additional stab in the feels with the reference to the companions he has formerly lost (an excellent characterization that is a refreshing change in contrast to the horrid treatment of Turlough's graphic torture and assault and the infuriating resulting emotional disconnect from the Doctor in books such as The King of Terror). The topic of profit over human (and alien native) life is repeteadly highlighted amid the social criticism themes of this story, and colonialism and classism are also strongly featured throughout. It's very refreshing that the most honourable politician characters happen to be members of the native species of the colonized planet, and activists against the capitalist system are also given positive characterizations. The Ice Warriors are the original inhabitants of Mars, they are a noble warrior race who take pride in battle and glory. The latest appearance of this enemy was found on a Russian submarine during the cold war, when the formidable leader attempted to push the red button. Thankfully the Doctor and Clara were there to save the day.

On joining Doctor Who, Jonathan Groff says: “I am so thrilled to jump into the extraordinary mind of Russell T Davies and watch the incredible Ncuti Gatwa soar in this iconic role!” This was a fairly solid and enjoyable story that works well, it's a little dark in places with themes of abuse and brutality, with some of the characters being some of the evilest humanity has to offer but the two maids were such a delight and Christopher Eccleston, as usual, is on his a game! 7/10Award winning star of stage and screen Jonathan Groff is set to appear in the new series of Doctor Who in a key role. Eccleston at his A-game. This entire set is another triumph for Christopher Eccleston, but in Monsters in Metropolis, he's even more youthful and energetic, which fuels the entire story admirably. The Hunting Season"- very interesting that the Doctor is charged here with saving some truly unlikable awful people. Nice change. Also, we get a nice little twist in there, that even had me on the fence if they were going for it or not. This is by far one of the most bleakest, intelligent and clever big finish audios I have ever listened to, it's very masterfully written as well which is a surprise because James Kettle is a newcomer to the company and what a welcome surprise he is. This is a brutal story that examines the price of manipulating time without knowing what you're doing and how the control of a corporation not only ruins things for everyone but can destroy people's lives if chosen to do so.
