The drama
Russell Tovey is a delight to have back as Alonso, a man down on his luck who, when given a flicker of a chance of romance, makes Jack wait at the door so he can properly set the tone in his room. He's nervous and something of a bumbler but without being quirky. He feels like an honest and real character, jealous when Jack flirts with a woman in front of him despite only having only met him that evening. He's fallen quite quickly for Jack and wants one enchanted evening.
Mother Nothing isn't a particularly groundbreaking enemy but the main focus of this audio drama is the relationship between Jack and Alonso, who spend the vast majority of the time apart but in contact. The flirting is cute and entertaining, and the ending is almost heartbreaking as their escape pods fly off two light years in either direction. At least Alonso wasn't killed off as it seemed he was going to be. Hopefully this isn't the last we see of Alonso, as he has incredible chemistry with Jack.

A good quotation
Alonso: I don't have that much luck with captains.
