Eighth Doctor audios question

[kindkit]

Will "Zagreus" make sense if I listen to it without having heard previous Eighth Doctor audios? (I'm planning my listening for the upcoming long drive.)

And if I should listen to other Eighth Doctor audios first, which ones? "All of them" is not an option.

The audios themselves basically confirm this in Zagreus. Basically, there's this bit where the Doctor gets a glimpse into parallel-running timelines and one of them has stuff from the DWM comic and the other one stuff from the novels.

ETA: There is some Doctor/Charley shippiness but it's mostly confined to Zagreus and Scherzo (and afterwards they kind of seem to mutually figure out that they prefer being friends.)

Cool! And I'm glad to hear the shippiness isn't too excessive/ongoing.

Yeah. You can kind of tell in the pre-Zagreus ones that Charley is crushing hard on the Doctor, but it doesn't seem like he returns any feelings until Zagreus itself and Scherzo is pretty much all about the fall-out from Zagreus, so that stuff gets dealt with. (I think Rob once said he was trying to show the entire course of a relationship, beginning to end, over the course of one audio? Which was actually totally doable the way Scherzo was written, because it's a two person cast.)
