About this listen

Whatever you borrow must be repaid...

Andrew Brown never has enough time. No time to call his sister, or to prepare for that important presentation at the bank where he works. The train's late, the lift jams. If only he'd had just a little more time. And time is the business of Mr Symington and Mr Blenkinsop. They'll lend him some - at a very reasonable rate of interest. Can the Doctor, Amy and Rory stop them before they cash in their investments?

Read by Meera Syal, this is a thrilling race against the clock from Naomi A. Alderman, the Baileys Prize winning author of The Power, featuring the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory, as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the spectacular hit Doctor Who series from BBC Television.

Critic reviews

Borrowed Time is a witty, creative and exciting tale of manipulation by an alien intelligence, in which the real villain happens to be compound interest. (Daniel Tessier)

Voiced by a familiar face from the series, this is a fast paced story with some very tense moments. We have the doctor throwing himself into a seemingly innocent corporate world. Meanwhile, Amy is left to her own devices and begins to snoop around... In true Amy fashion she manages to get herself in a huge mess.



A great listen. Some interesting Doctor back story comes up too, which is always a good sign in my book.

Great fun

I liked the part where The Doctor ate some cake and called Amy to tell to come over here for something important when actually it was to tell her that there was some cake that is the sort of I would do I recommend this to Doctor Who fans

Good story
