Check. Gallifrey. Check. Wait. ROMANA??? Oh hell yes. This is the kind of stuff I most like to see Big Finish taking on: a story too big and crazy for TV, with a side bonus of providing a good helping of back-story to the modern series' favorite trope: the Time War. Loved it. ( ) brings the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn - clearly one of the great pairings of Doctor Who - to the back-story of the Gallifrey audios (and a sequel of sorts to The Genocide Machine). Negotiations on a Time Treaty between Gallifrey and the other time-travelling powers are at a climax, Romana as President has been missing for twenty years, and of course it turns out that the Daleks are behind it all. OK, poor old Gallifrey has been under siege so many times now that it is surprising the place is still standing, but I really enjoyed this one - everyone seems to be on top form, and I begin to believe those who say that Colin Baker's performance in the audios shows what a great Doctor he could have been on TV, if he had given better material to work with. no reviews | add a review
When the planet Archetryx is threatened by a Dalek assault squad, the Doctor and Evelyn become embroiled in an ever-deepening mystery. And just what has become of President Romana, who has been missing for 20 years? No library descriptions found. |
