Doctor Who: Classic Doctors, New Monsters - Volume 5: Faithful Friends
Four new adventures featuring classic Doctors encountering monsters from the new series of Doctor Who!
5.1 The Krillitane Feint by John Dorney - The TARDIS brings the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe to a planet where a secure research base is conducting disturbing experiments. A group of captive Krillitane are test subjects for a military power, keen to understand the species' unique abilities. But who are the real monsters here?
5.2 The Dying Breed by Tim Foley - When the Doctor, Leela and K9 land on the Lupari homeworld tracking a temporal anomaly, they find a kingdom in disarray. The Great Lord Garzan's son has been attacked, and strange beasts roam the frozen landscape. Whilst Leela spars with the new heir, the Doctor and K9 must work out how all these strange events are connected. Little do they know that their discoveries will shake the Lupari to their core.
5.3 The Krillitane Relic by John Dorney - The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Ray to a space station cryogenic facility, where interplanetary VIPs are stored pending medical cures. There is a familiar face here too - someone the Doctor remembers, but who does not remember him.
5.4 Five Hundred Ways to Leave Your Lover by Tim Foley - Chris is on a date. But it isn't working out. Perhaps he'll end it over dinner. Or on a cruise. Or in a lunar spa. But who are these figures in red? And why are they so invested in his relationship? All of reality might be at stake, and the Monks will pursue Chris wherever he goes - but as long as he manages to break up with his boyfriend, the Doctor, everything might be saved.

I think this was a very good release.
Even the episode with Sylvester did not disappoint (I find him a bit hit and miss), it is nice to see 7 on the back foot for once. This might also be the first release featuring Michael Troughton where I actually did not mind him. Previously, I was not really sold on his 2nd Doctor.
Overall great writing and very good performances.
Both the Monsters and Doctors were used in new and unexpected ways, which is the key to this series.
Each of the stories brought something interesting and/or new to the table, there are plenty of twists and turns and in general, this release is very entertaining.
I loved the 8th Doctor in a overboarding rom-com for example!
I can recommend this one.

The Krillitane Feint by John Dorney = The best story of the set sees 2, Jamie and Zoe investigate a military facility experimenting on Krillitane (First seen in School Reunion in 2006). It's a really strong script for a number of reasons but one which is very much a spoiler so I won't reveal that here. It nicely leads into The Krillitane Relic. 5/5!
The Dying Breed by Tim Foley = The first Jodie Whittaker era monster/character I've experienced at Big Finish being the dog creatures the Lupari from Flux. Foley manages to give them a great origin story and explains why they have a connection with humans. The use of the Tardis team of 4, Leela and K9 is used brilliant, especially K9 as well he's a dog so that was used to great effect in this story. Which is nice as K9 always ends up getting written out of stories, so it is nice to see some K9 love. Tom Baker, Louise Jameson and John Leeson doing a brilliant job as always plus Miriam Morgolyes is in this as well which is great. 4/5
The Krillitane Relic by John Dorney = A strong sequel even if we as the audience know a bit more than the Doctor does due to the nature of it being a sequel to the first story in this set. Yet, Dorney cleverly uses the situation to craft a fun script. Plus, it brings back Ray played by Sara Griffiths as a companion for Sylvester McCoy's Doctor which was a surprise when this set was first announced. Looking for more adventures with her in the future. The Amazing Sheila Handcock is also in this where she gets to play multiple characters and Colin Mcfarlene is here to so quite an all star cast. A solid 4/5
Five Hundred Ways to Leave Your Lover by Tim Foley = The weakest story in the set but still a really fun story. It's a rom-com with the Monks (Previously from the Monk trilogy during Peter Capaldi's time). It borrows elements from the TV Monk stories but does enough different with them for it to avoid being a copy and paste. Paul McGann does a great job in a story which would seem to only work for his Doctor. 4/5 rating
Overall, an amazing set of stories with a great selection of New Who Monsters. Well worth listening to the set

5.1 The Krillitane Feint - The (Second) Doctor, Jamie & Zoe are caught up in another secret military base doing research that is morally questionable. As usual things get out of hand, but not as usual things are not entirely as they seem. This one was very entertaining, quite good. (4/5)
5.2 The Dying Breed - The (Fourth) Doctor, Leela and (of course) K-9 met the Lupari, but they’re not quite what you might have been expecting. At least not yet. Interesting, but I did not find it all that compelling. (3/5)
5.3 The Krillitane Relic - The (Seventh) Doctor accidentally stumbles upon Zoe many years later, band things play out as they always seem to for The Doctor. Such a delightful and entertaining episode. (4/5)
5.4 Five Hundred Ways to Leave Your Lover - Wild and silly, but equal parts anxious and weird. There’s a lot of weird humor and a lot of deception and misdirection, as one expects with Doctor Who. It will keep you guessing, and it is a very entertaining (Eighth) Doctor adventure. (4/5)

Four more stories in which Doctors from the classic series encounter aliens from the modern version – not all of which are necessarily “monsters”. Since they’ve already used the more famous ones in the earlier volumes, there’s perhaps a hint of ‘scraping the barrel’ here, but some of the stories are surprisingly good at finding new ways to use their subjects.
The Krillitane Feint
The first story features the Second Doctor blundering into a secret military base where scientists are experimenting on the Krillitane. It is, of course, a base-under-siege, appropriately enough for Two’s era, albeit with the monsters already inside the base and under heavy sedation. There’s good interplay between the Doctor and the military as he tries to make them see his point of view without giving away his cover story in the days before psychic paper. In fact, the whole thing is cleverly constructed, making good use of the Krillitanes’ ability to take on the features of other races. The result is a story that makes minor antagonists from a story far more remembered for something else into something rather scarier. As well as questioning which race it is here that are really the monsters… 5 stars.
The Dying Breed
The next story features the classic lineup of the Fourth Doctor and Leela. They are as good as always, with both playing key roles in the story. There’s also a good mystery at the heart of it, with a king’s heir stricken by an unknown malady as the whole world around the characters appears to be suffering. The primary antagonist is a bit one-dimensional, but many of the other characters are not, and the eventual explanation is an interesting one. A minor downside is that there’s no particular reason for the story to feature the Lupari as opposed to any other random alien race. True, it does give an opportunity to explain some of the background to the race as they appear in Flux – this story being set over 12,000 years earlier, when they’re mostly medieval. There’s also some fun with their reaction to K9, although it doesn’t really go anywhere. That aside, they could have been anything, although the hint of the familiar may help for those listeners who know the new series better than the old one – especially if they’re fans of Thirteen. 4 stars.
The Krillitane Relic
A direct sequel to the first story in the set, this features the Seventh Doctor arriving at a space station dedicated to human cryogenics. His companion here is Ray, much older than she appeared in Delta and the Bannermen, something that will apparently be explained in a regular Seventh Doctor audio released several months after this one was. That’s a little confusing, and unnecessary bit of timey-wimeyness presumably introduced by production schedules, but, if you can get past it, it doesn’t affect the story too much. It’s less inventive than the story it’s a sequel to, but it does manage to build on it in an effective way, dealing with some of the Doctor’s regrets over what happened to Zoe and Jamie at the end of The War Games. Other than that, it’s a fairly straightforward runaround, albeit with the twist that the listener starts off knowing something the Doctor doesn’t. 4 stars.
Five Hundred Ways to Leave Your Lover
The final story in the collection is, frankly, a bit bizarre. The monsters here are the Monks from Lie of the Land, once again playing with perception to obtain freely given consent to their plans. The story jumps between (apparent) realities, tied around a man who believes he is the Doctor’s lover and is trying to break up with him. It’s an interesting premise, but it never quite works, perhaps because the setup is obviously fake, leaving the listener only with the mystery of why the central character thinks otherwise. The first half is particularly disjointed, if intentionally so, perhaps creating more frustration than is intended. It all becomes clearer towards the end, but even then, the Monks themselves remain largely offscreen and, beyond setting things in motion, are largely incidental to the story. Sure, there’s a decent LGBT rom-com in there (which may be a plus or a minus, depending on your tastes), but that only really comes to the fore at the end. 3 stars.

Classic Doctors, New Monsters is one of my favorite ranges from Big Finish. It's a shame they don't come out very often, but I'm also glad they don't. These sets are usually strong in quality, so I'd rather the writers take their time with this series and do the best with what they've got than being rushed.
The Krillitane Feint:
The 2nd doctor, Jamie and Zoe, find themselves inside a military research base on a barren planet. The Krillitane have destroyed and taken the world over, but now they've become prisoners of the humans. Can The Doctor warn the general in time or will the humans selfishness lead to their own destruction? The Krillitane aren't happy and it seems one might have escaped.
John Dorney has written a very atmospheric and unsettling script that makes you wonder who the villains are in this story. Both sides are definitely evil in their own way, but it raises interesting questions none the less. The twist in this story blew me away, genuinely one of the most jaw-dropping and frightening twists Big Finish has ever done. 10/10
The Dying Breed:
The Great Lord Garzan's son has fallen ill, attacked by a naked ape. His daughter is out for vengeance and she'll do anything to get it. The Doctor, Leela and K9 arrive after being put off course by a temporal anomaly. Who are the naked apes? What caused the anomaly? Can we trust Kaira, the king's daughter? The Lupari's friendship with The Doctor begins, but for the Time Lord it's a lot more complicated.
Tim Foley has written a really fun and atmospheric fantasy story that is very engaging. I enjoyed learning more about The Lupari and seeing their homeworld. It's a strong script with a heartfelt ending. 9/10
The Krillitane Relic:
The Doctor and Ray accidentally arrive at a Cryogenic Clinic after trying to go to a performance of Strictly Come Dancing. To his surprise, The Doctor comes across an old friend, someone he thought he'd never see again. The Doctor wants to help and rekindle old times, but in doing so is about to make a dreadful mistake?
John Dorney has written a really solid script that nicely builds off the events that happened in The Krillitane Feint. Ray is a lot of fun in this and despite my dislike of Delta and The Bannermen, I'm honestly excited to hear more from her. 8/10
Five Hundred Ways to Leave Your Lover:
Chris is on a date. The trouble is he desperately wants to break up with his boyfriend, but every time he tries to, mysterious creatures in red robes stop him. What's going on and can he break up with The Doctor before tea time?
Tim Foley has written a brilliant screwball comedy that is absolutely insane. There are some hilarious moments in this and it's interesting to see 8 on actual dates. The Monks are suitably unsettling and the twists are terrific. 9/10
Overall: 36/40

The two Krillitane episodes are high quality, the one with the Fourth Doctor and Leela doesn't really have much of a plot, and as such it just drags to its non-conclusion.
The last one plays like bad fanfic. An author-insert that begins with the premise "what if the Doctor was my gay boyfriend?" And it's neither amusing nor interesting enough to rise above the material. Nor does it ever actually explain what the whole point of it all was. Except a writer fantasizing about having the Doctor as his gay boyfriend, I guess.
Four stars for the two Krillitane episodes, two stars for the Lupari episode, but ZERO stars for the gay doctor story. (In the interviews, the director expressed his great pride at doing an el-jibbity episode, as if 80% of BF output doesn't already have el-jibbity content.)

I ordered this and it took quite a while to arrive but in the end it did me a favour as i got to hear Rays stories in order and have to say really enjoyed Mr Dorney two scripts exciting stuff and definitely relistenable and continuing with Past Forward release and Sylvester continued in this with a strong performance and Ray continued as a strong interesting companion.When i finished with the first story i skipped the Lupari story(not my fave era of Doctor Who and jumped to the cast list on the CD cover so i kind of knew right away Wendy Padbury was in it and I thought the ending to the first story slightly open ended…but both stories very entertaining .Good stuff Mr Dorney.
I will do the other two at some later date
50 ways to leave your lover-i just did not get it at all-you bring back the Monks quite a great villain for this do they not have other more important things to alter is it meant to be serious or fun or what -anyways not likely to get a relisten i figured i did right picking this up brand new for 18 pounds.
Ok just the Lupari story to go but am i hopeful…maybe tom and Louise can save the day.
Well they didn’t and i cannot even remember the story now or a particularly standout performance i will keep the four stars for the two Krillitane episodes and ⭐️ for the other two.

I liked the way the Second and Seventh Doctor stories connected. K-9 was fun in the Fourth Doctor story. My favorite was the Eighth Doctor story, and it includes LGBTQ+ elements and fun character moments.

Excellent work.

3.5 I liked the 2nd and 3rd ones better than the 1st and 4th. Gotta love Lord K9 and the 7th Doctor asking Ray if she knows "Ice Ice Baby". 😂

The Krillitane stories were definitely the best two in this release, but all four here are really strong scripts with great acting on all sides.
I really loved "The Krillitane Relic" and I never thought I'd need to see an interaction between the Seventh Doctor and Zoe... Well, sort of, but without giving away, it still makes for a fantastic story and the actors played well off each other. It also aligns really smoothly with "School Reunion" in terms of continuity.
