  1. An anthology of four 30 minute stories released on the 45th anniversary of the TV show s launch In much the same fashion as the earlier anthology 100, the stories are all linked by the number 45, although here it s rather ham fisted.FALSE GODS The Doctor visits an Egyptian archaeological dig and gets embroiled in a plot involving time travel At one point our heroes are randomly attacked by a creodont I assume it was intended to be a Hyaenodon, until somebody pointed out that they re 42, not 45, [...]

  2. False Gods Temporal complexity squeezed into a single episode short and an interesting little tid bit of continuity Well done 5 star Order of Simplicity Nice twisty plot with a tad sci fi to it than you usually get As with the first story, it fits well into it s format 4 stars Casualties of War This one leans way too much on giving some insight into Ace s past, which really just does nothing but create discontinuity with the several other off canon stories that attempt something similar There s [...]

  4. This audio wasn t that great which considering it had Benedict Cumberbatch in it was quite disappointing Unlike the four short Eveyln and Sixie stories these four were just a bit bland They Egypt story was quite good and the one in WWII visiting Ace s family was ok But it didn t really cover anything that wasn t covered in the tv episode The story about the intelligence regression was pretty regretful as was last story about the Word Lord.

  5. Interesting mix of different types of stories all connected by forty five somewhere in there, which comes together in the last one I m listening to these out of the order so it was good to listen to the first meeting between the Doctor and the Word Lord, especially knowing where that goes Added bonus of Benedict Cumberpatch in the first story, playing Howard Carter.

  6. Seven, Ace and Hex run through four separate stories with the theme of 45 running through them This was Big Finish s salute to the 45th anniversary of Doctor Who In one of them, Benedict Cumberbatch plays Howard Carter in a time before his discovery of Tutankhamen s tomb.
