   Jameson's a terrific narrator.  She obviously can't imitate Tom (can   
   anyone?), but she does a reasonable job of suggesting him.  More   
   importantly, particularly for a dialogue-light story, she is very good   
   at putting enthusiasm and verve into describing events.  The pace of   
   the reading increases as the incident of the chain reaction strikes,   
   then slows when it is interrupted.   
      
   Really, one pleasant surprise of both the "Short Trips" and Companion   
   Chronicles ranges is just how good most of the chosen "Who" alums are   
   as readers.  Outside of Deborah Watling, I can't think of any really   
   weak readers, though certainly some are stronger than others.  Louise   
   Jameson tends to be one I'd rate among the strongest, though.
