Military Intelligence                     



Jago and Litefoot 6.3                                           



A shadow of doubt is cast on the nature of the Colonel, as he’s more interested in learning about J&L’s adventures, particularly Dr Tulip, rather than sending them on another outing for Queen and Country.

With the shredded bodies of murder victims being found, and warnings about not asking questions about the Colonel, its just another day for the pair.

The last instalment is glossed over, as there’s no mention of it and it seemingly having no barring on the events of this series.

We’re introduced to miss Agatha, and old favourites return to the fold i.e Elle and Quick.

It does feel like a lot of nothing going on. Though it does eventually get to a some idea of a plot, it takes its time doing it. Everything coming to a head in the last part. You do get a sense of this perhaps being a two parter, but its more of a set up to the finale. It builds up to a great ending, a cliff hanger that you can't wait to be resolved.

I suspect the high marks this has recieved is more to do with the ending than the story itself. Having yet to finish this set, currently I feel that part 2 should have carried on with the arc that part 1 started, and maybe this wouldn’t have rushed the colonel plot to get to the end.

But the Trial Of George Litefoot is next and I’m looking forward to it

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...
