One of those "classic stories" that is actually as good as the hype would lead you to believe. Great story!

A shame I'd seen the cover of part 2 as the final moment would have been so much more fun. This was great. I wasn't sure where it was coming from or how it was going to get anywhere, plus I was impressed with the way te Doctor works his way through the situation. A good story that was well directed and acted.

HUMAN RESOURCES PT 1 is a fun romp. With tongue firmly planted in cheek Eddie Robson tells a delicious story of a corporate office that's actually... Well, I won't give it away, but for anyone who's had a job in the corporate world, they'll definitely be able to relate to the characters, the environment, and the attitudes. Fun stuff and a unique script for the DOCTOR WHO universe.

The downside is that this is only the first half of the story (to be followed up by HUMAN RESOURCES PT 2! Go figure.). While the mystery takes its time to unravel, there's really not much rise and fall to the drama. Meaning that dramatically, the action is rather monotone for most of the adventure until the climax.

I've rated this story an 8, mainly because although the mystery DOES unravel, not much else happens. I'm wondering how I would rate it after a second listen now that I know the secret. Sadly, I don't expect it to hold up to repeated listens.

Great work though and certainly worth the price of the download.

I enjoyed it but I do find this and Part Two a little overrated.

Fairly inventive story, until the Cybermen show up.
