Doctor Who: Beautiful Chaos

Donna Noble is back home in London, catching up with her family and generally giving them all the gossip about her journeys. Her grandfather, Wilfred Mott, is especially overjoyed – he’s discovered a new star and had it named after him. He takes the Doctor, as his special guest, to the naming ceremony. But the Doctor is suspicious about some of the other changes he can see in the Earth’s heavens, particularly that bright star, right there. No, not that one, that one, there, on the left... The world’s population is slowly being converted to a new path, a new way of thinking. Something is coming to Earth, an ancient force from the Dark Times. Something powerful, angry and all-consuming... Featuring the Doctor and Donna, as played by David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the hit series from BBC Television, Beautiful Chaos is read by Bernard Cribbins, who played Wilfred Mott in Doctor Who.

Bernard Cribbins great actor, not a great narrator

I love Sir Bernard Cribbins. He is a great actor, but I just couldn't stay focused on his narration. The story itself wasn't made for radio, either, so it was just hard to follow, setting him up to fail. It's a decent story though, so if you're a Who Maniac, you're buying it anyways.....I mean .... I bought it. Still, there are a lot to pick from. Choose your narrator wisely.

I love this audio book....

I love Doctor Who. This book kept my attention waiting to see how the doctor would save the earth once again.

Kind of scary

This one was a little bit scary in a weird sort of way. The astrology stuff kind of messes with me. Also the ending was strange, it just dropped off sooner than I felt it should have. But a nice story, and also Bernard Cribbins, who's brilliant. Still trying to find the perfect voice of Donna, but this is getting closer than some I've read.

Bernard's great !!!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Really well narrated

What about Bernard Cribbins’s performance did you like?

Lovely to listen to the performance of a great actor - stretching to cover the different voices and emotions

Bernard's Doctor lets down this story

This was a really interesting story, but I found it really hard to listen to Bernard Cribbins' portrayal of the 10th doctor. He totally misses the boat on the voice. The story is worth listening to, though.
