Critic reviews

Alex Price's narration... boldly builds up but never becomes intrusive to the soundtrack and action... Containing some nice moments of comedy it stops this release from just being a straight forward compendium of the season's greatest scenes. It also allows Murray Gold's score to be heard and appreciated more fully

Alex Price... offers a warm and engaging link that knits the audiobook together quite seamlessly... Even if you own the complete series 5 on DVD, this acts as a great accompaniment - and one that enables the listener to experience those 13 episodes in a brand new, and exciting way

Watch Season 5 first!!

It's not terrible, but nothing great. It's nothing but a highlight reel of season 5. So if you've never seen the show, you won't know what this book is all about.
