A Fair Release - By: DB Dom, 31 Aug 2008
The Romans is another of the BBCs release of soundtracks of the early Doctor Who stories with linking narration (generallly provided by one of the companions in the story). All in alll this is a fair example, a pleasant historical with a good plot. Sadly though the lack of any visual aspect does detract from the story (unlike the Reign of Terror or the Crusade which work perfectly as audio) - however the Romans I feel needed that visual side.
It further begs the question why this was released, when (as alll the film is in existence) a DVD release will no doubt be coming soon. I'm discouraged to think that the BBC are trying to convince fans to by these releases & then the DVD releases later on (I don't know if the Romans is expecting a DVD release soon, but that certainly happened with the War Machines!)

I hope not, but either way, this is a fair enough release, worth listening to if you haven't got a video copy of the story or haven't seen it before. But I certainly await more when this story gets released onto DVD
