A nifty historical, though the portrayals of the historical figures felt a bit off (I did enjoy the Tolstoy crushing on Ace bit, though. Tee and also hee). The bootstrap paradox flavor was appreciated as well. And now I know how the black/white TARDIS stuff got started. Not sure how eager I am to get into that but we'll see... ( ) Paul Sutton sometimes bites off a bit more than he can chew, and I think this happened in The Angel of Scutari: it's a nice idea to have a fragmented plot, presented out of order, but Big Finish has done this before and better (most successfully with Creatures of Beauty). It seems also like an attempt to give Hex some character development, presumably in order to get rid of him some time next year, but ends up with Philip Olivier doing a one-note nursing whine while waiting for Florence Nightingale, while the Doctor and Ace shift rather confusingly between British and Russian captivity. The cast admit to their bafflement in the CD extras, and one can sympathise. In the third episode of The Three Companions, the Something we have been waiting for actually Happens and it all seems to come together well. no reviews | add a review
