About this listen

Somebody’s interfering with time. The Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack arrive on modern-day Earth to find the culprit - and discover a Neanderthal Man, twenty-eight thousand years after his race became extinct. Only a trip back to the primeval dawn of humanity can solve the mystery. Who are the mysterious humans from the distant future now living in the distant past? What hideous monsters are trying to escape from behind the Grey Door? Is Rose going to end up married to a caveman?

Caught between three very different types of human being - past, present and future - the Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack must learn the truth behind the Osterberg experiment before the monstrous Hy-Bractors escape to change humanity’s history forever...

A wonderful read for my fellow whovians! Well written and beautifully narrated. You can almost see the action.

FANTASTIC

I love love loved this Doctor Who, it's got Team TARDIS with Nine and Rose and Jack and follows a few different stories at a time, so one never gets bored. Never saw the ending coming.

Best, just best

Where does Doctor Who: Only Human rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This story is ok. The narrator is what makes it such an enjoyable listen.

Have you listened to any of Anthony Head’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Anthony head has a way of bringing characters to life. Please have him do more books!!!!

Anthony Head is a wonderful narrator.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is an exciting story with plenty of humour and some serious thoughts as well. The characters are very well done; the regulars are true to their on screen lives, and the original characters are believable and interesting.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Daz -he must have been quite challenging to write. This Neanderthal is far from stupid,
yet has great difficulty with some human concepts. Jack Harkness being his mentor is quite entertaining!

Which character – as performed by Anthony Head – was your favorite?

I think he got Jack's voice the best. Somehow he doesn't sound like the 9th Doctor at all this is my only problem with the performance, but all the other characters and the narration are great and I much enjoyed listening.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, but only because I didn't want it to end so I rationed it a bit.

Outstanding story!

Great narrator

I think Anthony does a great job reading anything. Great actor and voice.

The script and take was unique and caught me quite offguard.
It definitely kept my attention throughout the storyline.

I quite enjoyed it.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend to either an ardent Doctor Who fan, or an admirer of Anthony Head's work.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It was a long build up to a short unsatisfactory ending with a few loose ends needing tying up.

What about Anthony Head’s performance did you like?

An eloquent performance with just the right amount of dramatic inflection to keep the story interesting.

Average story excellently read
