Iris Wildthyme - The Sound of Fear

Iris Wildthyme #2.01

by Mark Michalowski

With her red London bus on course for the future, Iris runs slap-bang into the past! Materialising aboard Radio Yesterday, a space station broadcasting golden oldies to Earth's colonies, Panda finds something sinister in the air-conditioning and Iris comes face to face with her long-lost husband...(no, really!)

As Iris, Panda and the crew of Radio Yesterday experience the true power of music, the evil Naxian hordes are poised to transmit a groovy message of death...to the entire galaxy!

Miles Richardson is as camp as ever in this audio and having him and Katy Manning posing as a married couple with David Benson is utterly delightful.

That was so much fun. I've never heard any Iris Wildthyme before but I'll be certain to listen to much more. Thank you Spotify.

This was my first Iris Wildthyme story, and I liked it well enough to continue on to other stories of hers, but it wasn't all-out love.

Eeeh.

This was my first Iris episode (blame Spotify, it doesn't have the first series for some reason), and while there were definitely some good elements (the characters were neat, I'll definitely be listening to more of these to see if they're better because Iris is great; and some of the story concepts were interesting), overall the story didn't really work for me.

I love this story. It works as a great jumping on point into the madness of Iris Wildthyme. She and panda are a hilarious duo as they go to an intergalactic radio station and bump into her husband whom she forgot about after the reception about 20ish years before, but for him, it's only been 6 months.

Janice the stoned computer is a highlight here.

An enjoyable adventure about music and sound. Iris really makes these stories so much better though.
