A smooth talking and not entirely honest sales-hologram invades the TARDIS and tricks Donna Noble into a sales contract for a luxury apartment complex. If location is all three of the most important things in real estate, then the Edifice doesn’t have any of them. It’s somewhere in the midst of Outer Space, without any means of transportation out. Not only that, new tenants keep arriving without any provision for what they need to survive. Aquatic life forms are dumped on the carpet with nothing for their gills to breathe. Some of the more aggressive tenants are fighting for control of the Edifice, and no one seems to be in charge. Fortunately, there is a Doctor in the house.
Catherine Tate is such a gifted actress and mimic that her single voice presentation sounds like the highest quality full-cast radio drama. As the actress who plays Donna in the television series, it is little wonder that she does a good job voicing Donna’s part. The wonderful part of her performance is how closely she has captured fellow actor David Tennant's speech patterns when she reads the Doctor’s part. The sound effects are also excellent, and Dan Abnett’s original story even has a cliffhanger between discs one and two. Everyone involved with this project is to be commended.
