Summary
1.1 Technophobia by Matt Fitton
When the Doctor and Donna visit London's Technology Museum for a glimpse into the future, things don't go to plan. The most brilliant IT brain in the country can't use her computer. More worrying, the exhibits are attacking the visitors, while outside, people seem to be losing control of the technology that runs their lives. Is it all down to simple human stupidity, or is something more sinister going on?
Beneath the streets, the Koggnossenti are waiting. For all of London to fall prey to technophobia....
1.2 Time Reaver by Jenny T Colgan
Calibris. The spaceport planet where anything goes. Where anyone who doesn't want to be found can be lost, and where everything has its price. Where betentacled gangster Gully holds sway at the smugglers' tavern, Vagabond's Reach.
The alien Vacintians are trying to impose some order on the chaos. Soon the Doctor and Donna discover why. An illegal weapon is loose on the streets. A weapon that destroys lives... slowly and agonisingly.
The Time Reaver.
1.3 Death and the Queen by James Goss
Donna Noble has never been lucky in love. So when, one day, her Prince does come, she is thrilled to have the wedding of all weddings to look forward to. Though the Doctor isn't holding his breath for an invitation. And her future mother-in-law is certainly not amused. But on the big day itself, Donna finds her castle under siege from the darkest of forces, marching at the head of a skeleton army.
When it looks like even the Doctor can't save the day, what will Queen Donna do to save her people from Death itself?
Directed By: Nicholas Briggs.

They left the best story last, ‘Death + the Queen'
Good to listen to David Tennant and Catherine Tate reprise their roles for some new 10th Doctor Who adventures. We’ve got three stories here - they get progressively better.
Seems everyone was finding their feet in the first episode, second story was okay, but ‘Death and the Queen’ by James Goss was tremendous fun. This was a great story/production, if only all three were to this standard it would’ve been 5*

Disappointing stories, but lovely to hear the characters again!
I have always selected my books carefully on Audible and only returned one book that disappointed within the first 30 minutes. I persevered with these stories as I love Dr Who and really enjoyed Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) and the Dr (Dave Tennant) as a team. It was wonderful to hear their lovely voices again and the quirkiness they brought to the roles.
However, the storylines were weak (almost as bad as the current crop that just finished on New Year’s day January 2019 ever since Steven Moffat stopped writing for the show). The sound effects overpowered the speech at times and the stories were all very disappointing.
I was lucky to get this for free (after an Audible refund and a very kind assistant) but unless it is going very cheaply, it is not worth purchasing. It left me feeling cheated of a great story that had been fitted into a small amount of listening time dressed up with sound effects.
For the first time in hours of listening to brilliant books on Audible I would say don’t bother and you won’t have missed anything. There are much better stories out there to listen to.

It's like they never left!
The 10th Doctor Adventures are a great 3 hours, David Tennant and Catherine Tate slip right back into character- it's like they never left! The stories sound just like the rest of series 4, they have the same upbeat feel and wittiness as before. I especially like Time Reaver, the idea behind it is quite fascinating and the villain is great. In my opinion, the final story, Death and the Queen, got slightly confusing towards the end, but the voice acting was still as stellar as the two before.

Excellent listen!
It was like Russell T Davies was involved in the writing again. Enthralling to listen to. I couldn't wait for the next story!

Good as the TV original, better maybe
If you could sum up Doctor Who - The 10th Doctor Adventures, Volume 1 in three words, what would they be?
Fun, lively, listenable
What was one of the most memorable moments of Doctor Who - The 10th Doctor Adventures, Volume 1?
Death and the Queen
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Well, it's an audio drama, so it's more similar to television than a book reading. It has a great drive to the production and David Tennant and Catherine Tate really bring a lot of energy to the production.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It wasn't the most profound production, but it was a great knock around adventure with plenty of light comedy in it.

Big Finish, spot on.
They have done a wonderful job of adapting the best of Tennant's run as the doctor for audio without losing what makes there classic who stories brilliant.

Allons-y 😁
Great audio adventures starring the 10th Doctor and fellow companion Donna Noble. I particularly enjoyed the zany humour and action that was promient throughout each episode. Will listen to it again and again in the future to come.

Great stories but hard to hear at times
I loved the stories and the voice actors, but I found it hard to hear at times. Sometimes the Doctor's voice was very low compared to the others, and others the sound effects covered them.

underwhelming
I was disappointed. The acting is decent, but the stories aren't up to the usual big finish standard. Episode 1 is the best one, but fairly lazily resolved. 2 and 3 don't explain a jot and aren't satisfying to listen to. Ten deserves better for his big finish debut.
