Disclaimer: I received as a free download from the publisher.
While I freely admit that I’ve become a HUGE fan of the Big Finish Doctor Who audio-dramas, I have been a bit apprehensive in trying out some of their ranges that a bit farther afield than just new adventures for the Doctor and his companions. To be honest I was originally ONLY going to get ones featuring Paul McGann as the “Eighth” Doctor only has the TV film and I enjoyed him so much that I wanted more, it just didn’t seem fair that he only appears in that one adventure. But some where along the way I found myself dipping my toes into other ranges of their wonderful productions. So when this appeared as a free download, I was intrigued to try it since it is the first of a series that was spun out of the Sylvester McCoy era (another of the classic series Doctors that I particularly enjoyed). So how was it? Well, it was interesting. I feel like it’s a kind of mashup between classic Doctor Who and The Avengers tv series. It’s kind of odd, but ... interesting. I didn’t find myself immediately caught up in the story and the characters as I am with most of the Doctor Who full-cast audio-dramas I’ve enjoyed, but it still held my attention. It certainly has potential, but I’m not sure I enjoyed it enough to continue the series. Part of the problem is that I’m not as familiar or invested in the characters, and part of it was the visualization in my minds eye wasn’t as vivid as when I’m listening to a Doctor Who audio-drama. I’m not saying I won’t continue with this series, just that I’m not exactly compelled to do so with this initial episode.
