The Doctor, Rose and Capt. Jack v. the living dead
This was a good story, ruined by the narrator, who obviously had no idea that this incarnation of the Doctor was a Northerner, and had him talking with the proverbial plum in his mouth, also made no attempt to make Rose sound like a Londoner. His Russian accents also tend to grate a bit. Wouldn't the Tardis translation matrix mean they wouldn't have noticable accents anyway?
The story itself is good, and progresses well, with some neat plot turns, and was a story I wanted to keep listening to. Justin Richards has the characters well defined, and this would have made a good TV 2-parter. I would have given 5 stars if the narration hadn't been so irritating. I did finish up wondering how many 'decommissioned' nuclear subs are in the condition of the ones in the story. Nice to get a brief mention of Bad Wolf, too.

Good story spoilt but poor accents
Would you try another book written by Justin Richards or narrated by Stuart Milligan?
This was a good story with twists and turns and pace that kept me involved. But the narrator Stuart Milligan had clearly never seen any of the episodes with Rose and the Doctor. The Doctor (Christopher Ecclestone) has a northern English accent, and Rose has a South East London accent. Neither of them had the strange "posh" Englsih accent used. The writer had written in the correct style, which made the misuse of the accents even more irritating.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Doctor Who: The Deviant Strain?
The final battle builds well to a great climax. Well worth waiting for.
Would you be willing to try another one of Stuart Milligan’s performances?
Not if there were any english characters in the story.
Was Doctor Who: The Deviant Strain worth the listening time?
Yes - despite the reservations about the narration. It was a good story.

Probably better with another narrator
Doesn't seem like this narrator has ever watched Doctor Who. The voices are so far off the mark it's really ruining the story for me.
