Doctor Who: Dark Eyes Win: What the Judges Said

Judged by Viv Gardner and Sofie Mason

WINNER: DOCTOR WHO – DARK EYES: THE GREAT WAR

People’s history, fantasy and high drama. The winning entry was outstanding in every respect: a complex, gripping narrative made visible through three-dimensional characters in believable relationships, some fine acting, and a superbly orchestrated soundscape which never overdoes the atmospherics or signposting of changes in time and place. Above all, it manages its historical and fantastical elements seamlessly and, for a brief period, time is suspended for the listener.

Doctor Who: Dark Eyes is available to order, with Dark Eyes 2, 3 and 4 also available for pre-order.
