Easily the worst Doctor Who published. 0 of 10 stars

Pure fun.

[Emilija · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don't know what this story was, but it was not great. I can't even really tell what the plot was, except that it was something to do with the Sisterhood of Karn, and the Doctor kept taking the mickey out of his two American companions, which got quite annoying after a while. Like, I get it, they're American, it doesn't need to be the focus of the entire story.

Just awful.

[Ashley Beery · Rating 5 out of 5]

The twist with Sir Francis Drake was rather interesting, and having the narrator do the other doctors voices (spoilers sweetie!) was well done as well. I enjoy these audios over the big finish ones as they stay true to a Doctor Who episode and makes me feel like they really bring out 12, even better than the show does! A pleasant listen and a great story.

Von den 4 Hörbücher dieser Reihe, ist dies der Entäuschenste. Er wird irritierend anstengend konstruiert - als die Autoren noch nicht wussten, wo die Geschichte hin will.
Notwendig für die Reihe, aber nicht überzeugend.

this story was an absolute joy to listen to Dan Starkey done the voice of the 12th doctor to a t. he must have studied peter capaldi's performance as the doctor because the voice is spot on. i don't normally listen to audio dramas but i liked this one. i have bought another audio drama of doctor who called the last planet looking forward to that one

42 WORD REVIEW:

After two ho-hum instalments, Doctor Who’s “Lost” series attempts something more ambitious, revealing the creature behind the Time Lords’ mastery of the fourth dimension. Unfortunately, the length of story makes for a negligible denouement (and the two American companions continue to freeload).

[Richard Harrison · Rating 3 out of 5]

Story was a bit more ambitious than the previous instalments. Still not a fan of the boring American companions but Dan Starkey does a great job with all the accents, especially as he has to do a bunch of the Doctors.

[Griffin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Enjoyable for what it was, though the plot and ideas suffered from being a bit short and most of the people who weren’t the Doctor, like the “made for this collection” companions were rather flat characters

[Alex Cahill · Rating 3 out of 5]

A nice romp, more fun than the last book, and a much better adventure for the new companions.

I liked the "science as magic" explanation from the time period, a good way of blending mythology and science fiction.
Interesting overarching plot development, and I look forward to the next one.

Brilliant!

[Emily Wrayburn · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was fine. It filled in an hour while I went for a walk.

[Jenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Much better than the first two, this was a lot of fun~

[Alicemarie · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story wasn't bad but it was rather strange.

[Emma Dargue · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok story in a continuing set of stories about the twelfth doctor. Interesting concept and the regression of the doctor was interesting but nothing amazing.

[Fred · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very entertaining and well produced Doctor Who short (it's about an hour long). It doesn't take long to get through and it's fun.

[Christine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I listened to this book out of order of the series, I may need to listen to it again in the right order.

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an awesome story. The reader really captures the essence of Peter Capaldi's Doctor.

[Tracy Smyth · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun little story.

[Stewart · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a fine, but forgettable tale. After the first volume in this series, the rest were just shrug-your-shoulders meh.

[Shadowsword · Rating 3 out of 5]

Die ersten 2 Teile von “das verlorene“ waren besser, aber gut zum joggen nebenbei. Das Ende war so ein Deus-Ex-Machina-Ding.

[Vaughan · Rating 3 out of 5]

The narrator shouldn't have attempted the accents... Also not familiar with these companions. This detracted from a story that wasn't good to begin with

[Andy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I thought this was a fairly decent historical mystery. These are very short stories so they are not very in-depth but they are still enjoyable.

[Plingsben · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story was ok but my god Dan Starkey as talented as he is cannot do a good 12th Doctor impression

[osoi · Rating 1 out of 5]

Уже была стандартная серия про приключения на многострадальной Земле, была подвешенная вне пространства и времени дилемма, и вот теперь настало время для путешествия в прошлое. И было бы даже интересно, если бы динамичный сюжет не пытались упихнуть в часовой формат. В итоге герои успевают хаотично сменить несколько локаций и мельком повстречать с пару десятков NPC, а вся сюжетная движуха пролетает со скоростью пули. Вот ребята были на корабле - и тут бац! минуту спустя они уже раскиданы по двум другим локациям. Переход между сценами настолько мизерный, а пояснения настолько поверхностно-мимолетны, что вся история превращается в бессмысленные прыжки туда-сюда. В отличие от этой линейки, БигФиниш умеет мастерски сбалансировать динамику, чтобы небольшой формат не вызывал недоумения :с Удовольствия от подобной гонки мало, и по прошествии пары дней сюжет начисто выветрился из памяти.

While still not an amazing story, this one at least felt more important than the previous story.
