what might have been
The best actor never to play the doctor onscreen finally gets a go at the part here. Although he's not the latest doctor, he's the third doctor as he could have been. Meeting the brigadier in a world that could have been, had UNIT had to battle all those alien menaces themselves with no help from any time lords.

Superb acting from the cast, and an intriguing story set against the backdrop of the hong kong handover. There are a few moments in here for the fans, but you shouldn't have any problem with them if you're not familiar with the stories in question.

And the story ends with the promise of more to come. I certainly hope so

The Best thing that Big Finish have ever produced.
What If? It's an important question but when you ask it, What If I go down the left street than the right? You make your choice and then it's onto the next What If? But then again, in some strange reality, you go down the right street instead of the left one.

That's what this story is all about. What If the Doctor didn't become U.N.I.T.'s Scientific Supervisor? Well the answer lies in this story. The world is a different place and instead of the 1970's, The Doctor (played by David Warner) lands on the eve of the Hong Kong Handover.

It's a unique look at the world if The Doctor didn't save it during the seventies, where there is very little to no plastic(Spearhead from Space), There's a lake in the middle of London (Doctor Who and the Silurians) and The Master now works for the Communists.

If your a Classic Doctor Who fan, it's just fun to look at what's changed and references to other stories are just brilliant.

So If you have the chance to listen or buy this. Do it. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent!!
Forget the RTD reimagined TV series of the 21st Century, this is Doctor Who as it should be - exciting, well-written and above all, intelligent.
It doesn't scream "Kids' show" at you, or chuck in farting aliens, obnoxious Doctors or the like.
David Warner plays a weary Doctor, and plays it so well you just want him to be the next TV Doctor.

The entire series of "Unbound" are excellent.

Highly recommended
