A017 Wirrn Dawn

Cow bugs, loud noises and a thorough misinterpretation of the concept of race memory. * * * Right, it's finally here. Doc and Lucie are pulled into a full-scale war between a race of Wirrn cows (sort of) and what appears to be a grand total of three human soldiers. Add a splash of inconsistent plot logic and 50 minutes of non-stop loud noises, and you have Wirrn Dawn. We've been talking about how much we dislike this audiobook for ages. Then, about a month ago, we sat down and reviewed it, and now – finally – we're dropping it on your ear balls. I trust the levels of criticism and vitriol are to your liking. Just for the record, we have reviewed a number of Doctor Who audiobooks, and we loved the heck out of most of them. This one, alas, is not one of our favourites... On a trivia note, Wirrn have appeared on Doctor Who before. The 1975 serial, 'The Ark in Space', starring Tom Baker as The Fourth Doctor, introduced the Wirrn to television audiences.
