Moonshine                               



Star Cops Mother Earth 1.7                               



Alcohol on the moon is the case in this episode. One man has already been sent back to earth for being in possession, while another is drunk on duty. Mother Earth seem to be quite and Nathan has to entertain a dignitary.


Martin, who was found with alcohol, was Australian so it was someone Kenzy had got to know, and as he was a little anti alcohol it seems a little odd. When they learn he killed himself shortly after starting a new job back on Earth, something doesn’t seem right, Pal and Devis investigate.


Paul is still recovering from the events of the last episode, and its possibly the reason for the visiting dignitary. Godfery Miller, who Nathan reluctantly has to show around.


One of the issued raised by Godfrey is the old question of whether the ISPF is worth it, and by this point how can they possibly be in doubt. It is an ongoing theme, but you wonder with the crimes that happen what’s the alternative?


For a series set in space they do seem to spend a bit of time on Earth (I’m saying this having heard 4 audio series). Devis and Kenzy uncover something more is going on after meeting an old colleague. 


There are a few moments of danger and peril both on the station and Earth, and it does expose the limits of audio, as the action sequences have to be narrated. Its a minor quibble, 



Its a good episode, fun with Devis and Kenzy, and a reference to how Kenzy was when we first see her in the original TV series, being on the corrupt side.


Worth listening to.

The Founding Fathers                                                       The Companion Chronicles  The First Doctor 1.3                                         Steven’s grand daughter takes him to visit the Doctor, yet its not the actual Doctor. There they tell a story of an adventure they once had where they met Benjamin Franklin. So perhaps a little more unusual, in that what’s happening with the current Steven is as, if not more interesting, as the story that’s being narrated. The narrated story tells of the TARDIS arriving in Leicester in 1762. With it being quite warm, the Doctor takes off his coat and throws to back into the TARDIS inadvertently locking the crew out. Getting back in is a little tricky and the only man that can help is Benjamin...

Power Game  Doctor Who the Monthly Range 248b Kamelion has been missing for three weeks, its York, the 1980’s and that’s just the beginning. This hits the ground running, but not only has Kamelion gone but now they’ve lost Tegan as well. Tegan herself finds she’s on a TV gameshow, how she got there is a bit of a mystery as she no idea how shearrived. The show pops up at various times on different channels in the middle of other programs. It’s a good start, no faffing about and with this a two parter that’s probably a good idea. The Tv show gives contestants challenges, when they fail they’re out, interestingly enough there are no prizes, and the contestants soon forget about their real lives.  It’ll be no surprise that the gameshow isn’t real and is a veneer for what’s really going on. We’ve had stories such as this before so you know what the deal is and you’re waiting for the big reveal. The Doctor and Turlough happen to find someone else who was taken by the game, and set t...

The Quest of the Engineer                                     The Fourth Doctor Adventures 9.4                                               On a planet that reconfigures it surface, the Doctor, Romana, Adric and K9 are seeking info on a CVE. They encounter the ‘Engineer’ who is also interested in CVE’s, though there is more to him and the planet than at first seems. I had to check that I had started with part one, as it begins with Adic having been arrested for taking K9 though the streets where technology is forbidden. They meet Rigis Tel played by George Layton (perhaps more noted in DW circles as being the Space pirates) and go on to find the truth about the planet. As for the plot… Well it is tempting to say what plot. The planet is… mild spoiler… a giant space ship. Being a Hitch...
