The Haunting of Thomas Brewster (Doctor Who)
RRP: £14.99 Our Price: £7.99 (subject to change) ReviewsA Haunting tale Review date: 2008-05-04 Rating: 10 out of 10 A full-on Dickensian pastiche as a young orphan is pressed into the service of a morally decrepit old geezer and forced to trawl the waterways of London for flotsam from cargo ships anxious to avoid excise impounding them. The tale's eponymous `haunting' comes from visions the boy has of his dead mother, which are becoming more and more `real' as he gets older. Jonathan Morris and Barnaby Edwards have combined here to great effect, creating an atmospheric and authentically Victorian London, where Young Thomas Brewster is pushed from pillar to post, all the while being followed by a mysterious blue box... John Pickard - best known as one of the Reilly twins in Channel 4's Hollyoaks - plays the eponymous orphan whom we first meet at his mother's wake, where callous relatives force the image of his drowned and battered mother to become imprinted in his subconscious, thereby enabling him to `become used to death'. When he inadvertently kills his Fagin-like employer, the visitations become even more vivid; whilst The Doctor and Nyssa also regularly appear to him, striving to warn him of an unnameable danger that is fast approaching...This audio is also notable for the introduction of a new companion for The Doctor, in the form of young Scot Robert McIntosh, played by Christian Coulson who appeared previously in The Bride of Peladon as Pelleas. This is an absolute joy; all of the performances are top-notch, especially Pickard who plays the Cockney urchin to a tee and Leslie Ash as his ravaged, supernatural parent. With this kind of talent at their disposal the Big Finish team are on a roll; long may it continue.
