This is bad comedy . . ., Nov 3 2011
By Zachary W. Dyer "Steeljaw" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Invaders from Mars (Audio CD)
I love bad comedy.
Invader's from mars is not your typical Doctor Who. It's story and dialog harken back to when Douglas Adams was script editor back in the 70's. Lot's of humor and fun all around.
You can tell by listening to the actors that they must of had a grand old time performing this piece, because they are all doing some of the most over the top American accents I've ever heard a British actor attempt.
It takes place during Halloween 1938, during Orson Welles infamous transmission of War of the Worlds. The Doctor get's involved (as usual) in an alien invasion that coincidentaly is happening at the same time as the fake one that Mr. Welles was broadcasting.
Lot's of fun over all. Special kudos for Simon Pegg who performed the best steriotypical American Mobster voice of the bunch. Had I not read the credits I would have had no idea it was him.
It was also a nice surprise that the used copy I purchased was autographed by india fisher, the voice of Charly. But don't expect that every time you buy a copy.

Great idea gone slightly amiss, July 29 2010
By Sharilyn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Invaders from Mars (Audio CD)
This audio has a fantastic concept: As Orson Welles' War of the Worlds broadcast sends New York into a panic, the Doctor and Charley are faced with a real alien invasion.
Sadly, it doesn't live up to its full potential.
The story, complete with bad film noir dialog, is played for laughs. The script is loaded with stereotypes, but the cast (which includes Simon Pegg) has the comedic chops to just about carry it off.
Bottom line, it is rather silly and not as nearly good as it could be.
3 stars.

Aliens and Nazi's and Commie's OH MY! + 1/2, Aug 9 2008
By Peter Ingemi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Invaders from Mars (Audio CD)
Invaders from Mars is a bit of a comedy and a bit of a standard adventure.
In their quest to get to Singapore the doctor ends up 8 years and half a world away from target, getting himself and Charley mistaken for a late NY PI as they chase alien technology, missing scientists, gangsters , grifters and Orson Wells.
The story and acting get a bit over the top on occasion but the comedic nature of the episode, including its conclusion make it all work.
All in all a pretty average episode but still a lot of fun.
