I think this is my favorite story by BBC Audio so far. It has some really nice character moments and a decent plot.

As with many of my other reviews of BBC Audio stories, this review will probably be rather short. Overall, this is a pretty average story. There isn't anything particularly memorable that happens. As with many stories, it's set in World War II. The most interesting thing that happens is that Donna falls in love (again) and he dies (again). She really is the most unlucky person when it comes to love. I'll probably end up writing an article on that at some point. Anyways, in this story, she falls in love with a soldier. Their relationship is really enjoyable to listen to, especially since Catherine Tate played Donna Noble in the TV series. This adds a little extra authenticity to the relationship that is nice to hear. I especially enjoyed (that's the wrong word, but you know what I mean) Donna's reaction when he dies. It's clear she truly cared about him and this was well-portrayed. Her telling the Doctor that she wasn't fine yet was also really well done and something often not covered in the show. The impact of death on the companions is well shown here, more so than it often is elsewhere. Overall, I enjoyed this story. Though it's pretty average as a whole, it still has enjoyable moments, especially the relationship that Donna finds herself in. There are some reviews where I mainly focus on one aspect of the story. This is going to be one of those reviews, and today I will be focusing on Mike Yates.
