‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘Bounty’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Enjoying Easter Monday so far? In today’s instalment of this year’s Easter review season, it’s time for the fifth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ audio collection of ‘Doctor Who’. Here’s my brand-new review on ‘Bounty’, the first of three stories in the ‘Earth and Beyond’ audio anthology, featuring the Eighth Doctor and Sam. The story is by Peter Anghelides, who has contributed many stories to ‘Doctor Who’, including audios, books and short stories. The ones by him that I’ve checked out and reviewed so far include ‘The Tip of the Mind’, ‘Good Companions’ and ‘The Four Doctors’. ‘Bounty’ is read by Paul McGann, who plays the Eighth Doctor, and it’s the only audio story exclusive in the ‘Earth and Beyond’ anthology, since it was never printed in any book anthology.

Today, we’re checking out the episode ‘Go with the Flow’, a Season 3 episode where Rattrap and Depth Charge have to work together to save Una, a proto-human girl, who gets kidnapped by the Predacons to help finish Megatron’s deadly disruptor ray weapon that will be used to destroy the Maximals and their makeshift base whilst protecting the Autobots’ Ark. The first time I saw ‘Go with the Flow’ was on Volume 3 of the four official VHS releases of ‘Beast Wars’ containing Season 3 episodes that had never been shown before via GMTV in the UK. I’ve also seen ‘Go with the Flow’ in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set, and it can now be seen on YouTube. Can Rattrap and Depth Charge save Una and stop the Predacons at the same time? Or will the Predacons finds themselves unwittingly defeated by an unexpected enemy? Continue reading
