The finale to the 5-story arc that is 'Serpent Crest' comes as something of a letdown. While the inter-Doctor banter between the and the faux is entertaining and while the entire saga comes to an end with the return of a now-grown Alex who has taken the reigns of his star-crossed empire and brought peace between the humans and robots though it's not explicitly stated 'how'it all comes about abruptly with no satisfaction. Captain Yates spends the majority of this The finale to the 5- story arc that is 'Serpent Crest' comes as something of a letdown. Captain Yates spends the majority of this story, as he has the previous, in a befuddled state, lurching from outright belief in the Second Doctor to playing catch-up with the Fourth Doctor. He isn't given very much to work with on the script level save for a few possibly flirtatious moments with the otherwise annoying villager who, for some reason, ramps up her accent to a ridiculous degree when she had been voiced quite differently all along. Mrs Whibbsy's previously maternal affection for Alex led absolutely nowhere; when he does arrive, decades later by his reckoning, he barely spares her a sentence first or last. There was opportunity missed here to have their reunion played more for drama and emotion; as events swirled around them, it was a disappointingly rushed scene. The Second Doctor, now exposed as a fraud and a cheat, is rather let off the hook by everyone involved, and the Fourth Doctor demonstrates an unusual trust in him to safeguard the village on it's return from space back to Earth given the Second Doctor's machinations against the villagers and alignment with the evil alien menace all along that placed the villagers 'in' the situation to begin with. It felt that the writer was determined to invoke a positive feeling and to conclude the story for the audience on a happy note by sacrificing all the character development he had built up with certain characters. This resulted in her uttering a terrible line of dialog that is swallowed up by the sudden boom of Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space 'Doctor Who' Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space TV credits from the Tom Baker era, hardly a grand finale moment. Overall, the entire saga presents little new. Audio Go were not quite able to coax great performances from Baker, Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space scripts were workman-like but nothing special, the series did not have enough 'meat' to sustain it's duration over 5 individual stories, and deprived of 'classic' companions, the character of Mrs Whibbsey is far too much of a homemaker and fuss-pot to work with the Fourth Doctor; she seems oblivious to Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space of the events as they occur. It does feel as if the entire series was written 'after' Audio Go secured Baker and then had to produce material quickly for him, a rushed feeling that permeates all stories but especially this one. Like a microwave dinner, it is fast and will get the job done but Whovians need more sustenance and more nourishment in their 'Doctor Who' than this provides. Feb 06, Jennifer rated it it was ok Shelves: audiobooksfictionlibrary-loan. I enjoyed a good deal of the concluding part of the Serpent Crest series quite big on serpents this one but a few things dragged it Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space a bit. Firstly, Mike Franklin is no Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and it's just not a well-enough written character given the role he has to play here. Tish Madoc is a big part which has been set up to have a bigger role as the husky voiced siren recently arrived writer from Wales but it never materialises, so she is merely an annoyance. Individual elements of I enjoyed a good deal of the concluding part of the Serpent Crest series quite big on serpents this one but a few things dragged it down a bit. Individual elements of the story were good - the setting of the uprooted village of Hexford transported to a distant moon As the Doctor says, "I could take you all home in the Tardis but I don't think I can get the village church through the Tardis doorthe return of the Robotov Tsar when the egg hatches, playing a facsimile of his father is a delight and Tom Baker and Susan Jameson as the Fourth Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey are compelling Jul 21, Nicholas Whyte rated it liked it Shelves: doctorwhoaudioaudio122nd4thwibbsyyates. I had very much enjoyed the fourth Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space in this series, The Hexford Invasion, and had been hoping that the climax would reach the same standards. It didn't, quite; the resolution of why there are two Doctors was pretty much as I had expected, though Tom Baker gets some marvellous carpet-chewing moments, and the resolution of the entire plot of the series does knit up the ravelled strands rather well. But it's vaguely satisfying rather than terribly exciting, and alas we have I had very much enjoyed the fourth episode in this series, The Hexford Invasion, and had been hoping that the climax would reach the same standards. But it's vaguely satisfying rather than terribly exciting, and alas we have Richard Franklin returning as Mike Yates to try and carry the narrative. I rather hope that this marks the end of this particular run; it was good to get Tom Baker back in business, but the Big Finish plays he has been doing more recently show more promise.

The Story so Far - excerpts from all four previous stories. When the church clock chimes thirteen, the twilight hours officially begin. I'm told that the faulty chime is a quirk, dating back centuries, but it's been put to good use in the village's altered circumstances. When you've had no daylight for three months, you need something to tell you when to go to sleep. Door opens and closes. You get quicker every evening. It's as quiet as a grave out there, everyone safely tucked up in bed. Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space stopped half way round and peered through the perimeter. It's very eerie beyond that force shield. Such a barren landscape, stretching out for miles. Is there any tea on the go? One pot of chai coming up. You know, I've been studying the skies again, plotting the constellations and trying to work out where we are. MIKE: Oh yes? Any luck? None of the stars are familiar. Wherever we've been transported to, it's a very long way from Earth's galaxy. MIKE: That was certainly some tornado that picked us up and dropped us down. Hexford fell through a Time-Space wormhole. MIKE: I know. And ended up on a moon in the middle of nowhere. Even after three months it still seems unreal. The way the villagers have coped has been incredible. If you'd told them last year that they'd have to live without electricity or power of any kind, they'd have sworn they couldn't cope. That's one of their strengths. MIKE: We're lucky we can breathe inside this force shield. On both counts we have the biomesh trees to thank. They will produce oxygen and gravity for as long as we need it. MIKE: Food and drink though is a different matter. We've rationed supplies as much as we can, but most of the home supplies have gone already. Now we're relying on the MiniMarket and the pub. I saw the Vicar and one or two others staggering around on the village green earlier today. I think we should consider limiting people's access to all that beer. I'll form a committee to regulate consumption. Now I know what ultimate responsibility feels like. I'm glad of your support though, Doctor. The two hundred and fifty three civilians that came here with me are in our care. We can't let them lose hope. If my latest wheeze comes to fruition, we'll make a breakthrough any day now. Quite literally. A lot of people will be looking to you for guidance. To put all our lives at risk on a mere whim is completely irresponsible. It simply isn't a sustainable situation. We can get by. We won't last Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space. What if there's nothing there, if it's all just barren rock? Admittedly the transmissions have been faint, and not in a language I recognise, but if there's a chance of being helped, surely we must take it? But Mister Yates is our elected leader, so I will be ruled by him. If he thinks it's wise to let you poke a hole in the protective shielding around Hexford, well, so be it. In that case, I shall be back off to Nest Cottage immediately. There's no time like the present. Door slams. This hall is still Church property. Are you sure we can trust that fellow? I see. MIKE: Perhaps we should call a public meeting. Call another meeting. As if that's going to save us. MIKE [narrating]: Leaving the church with the Vicar's hollow laughter ringing in my ears, I crossed the village green, hardly glancing at the hard, star-bright sky above us. There's been perpetual night time in Hexford for the past three months, with only the fires burning on the green and inside each of the cottage windows to illuminate our way. In spite of that, we still tried to maintain a twenty four hour pattern of work, rest, and recreation. Around me, villagers went about their daily tasks and routines, oil lamps and burning torches grasped in their hands. Some of them called out greetings to me. By now, of course, I knew them all by name, and they knew me. Before going into Nest Cottage, I called next door to see my neighbour Deirdre, with whom I'd become rather friendly Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space the period of our marooning. I was dismayed to find her lying prostrate on her settee, watched over by her cousin, Tish Madoc. MIKE: Whatever's the matter? All this talk of going outside the dome. Deirdre's petrified it's going to spell the end for us all. You know how she worries about things. MIKE: The poor thing. Hello, my dear. Anything I can do? You've got the whole village to look after. MIKE: Oh, that's easy. I've got my lads to do the heavy work. All two of them. And what could be more important than dropping in to see my favourite neighbour? TISH: Your visits cheer her up. She's been down for a while, haven't you, Deirdre? Terrible nightmares. We all died without even knowing where we were. MIKE: That's not going to happen. TISH: I've told her. We're all having bad dreams. This whole thing is one great big nightmare. MIKE: I brought Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space goodies from the storeroom at the pub. You've the whole village to look after. Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space I can bring an extra treat for my favourite girls, can't I? TISH: Oh! Real coffee. But Mister Bush at the Post Office says supplies are dwindling. How long can we last out here? MIKE: Just let me worry Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space that. Meanwhile, try to relax. What would we do without you?
