Another solid Joe Wright film. Gary Oldman did an amazing job as Churchill, the ultimate spin doctor. It was a good year to bring this film out, since Dunkirk came out a few months earlier. The movie did a good job, building the tension between the various political figures, and the war. It was also nice to see Ben Mendelsohn not play a villain.
  
A fun pair of stories set with the Ninth Doctor, Rose and Jack. The first may be the best Slitheen story told to date, and that's saying something about the reviled monsters from Raxacoricofallapatorius. The second has some nice moments with a future Micky not wanting to deal with No. 9, in a misfire about Rose gaining superpowers. For our full review... http://travelingthevortex.com/?p=8201
  
Individually the stories found in this volume are standard fare, good but not overly engaging. The arc they tell is also fine, just not outstanding. Which is a shame because the final segment is outstanding, but it comes as the capstone to a mostly alright endeavor. George Mann has a great grasp of the Eighth Doctor however, and it's worth reading for his "voice" if nothing else.

4 short stories make up Big Finish's first foray into anthology storytelling, and there isn't a bad one in the bunch. Outstanding storytelling, great acting (especially by my favorite guest star, David Warner) a deepening of the special relationship that five and Nyssa share, and a finale to die for. This might be my favorite Fifth Doctor story of the line thus far. Great audio!
