Suspicion and Sabotage


Star Cops: Conflict 5.1


Nathan and Devis are on Earth, valuable minerals are running low, but an astroid belt holds the answer. A plan to mine it for the benefit of all is under discussion. As usual not all are on board.


Meanwhile Kenzy goes to the lunar pole; tapping into the ice sheets has been the target of sabotage. Luckily Paul is already under cover.


Alice isn’t present in this, we find out early on that she is bringing a prisoner back from Mars. On Earth Nathan and Devis meet Alexandra Myers, and there’s a nice bit of drama as Nathan follows someone and he gets into a perilous situation. The action sequences do suffer being on audio, but it's quite enthralling, bringing back memories and excitment I felt staying up late because I couldn't put my book down.


The Kenzy and Paul strand has its moments too, and it all comes together when Nathan, Devis and as it happens Alexandra return to the Moon.


Its enjoyable. The end does set things up for the series and resolves an issue that’s been hanging around for a while. It's intriguing as it's not quite how you think, and brings in the conflict element.


Flash lights - again in a British production - it's called a torch. It seems Big Finish are making audios solely for the US market, which I’m not. So as much as I've enjoyed the audios it may be some time before I buy the next series if at all.

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...

The Iron Maid The Companion Chronicles 12.3 14th  century and a church in France is where The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe find themselves… I’m writing this more fro completion that anything else. I have been struggling with audios lately, just not being able to get into them. This just didn’t engage me, its a bit slow, I should probably give it another go but I don’t really see much reason. Though this is a Zoe/Wendy Padbury story Frazer Hines also features playing Jamie and the second Doctor. There is a scene where Wendy does narrate instead which felt a little odd, the audio doesn’t make the best use of Frazer. The plot itself is about relics from a war, but a war in the future. Its not a bad premise, but the style of the audio isn’t one that excites me.

The Lumiat                                         Missy 2.1                          Missy, up to her old tricks of stirring up the red and the black ants. Only this time its people. All going well (or bad depending on your viewpoint) until a timelady appears, it has to be the Doctor doesn’t it? Who else could it be? I listened to this twice - a couple of months apart. The first time I felt it was OK, but seeing the reviews and it having been rated quite highly, I thought perhaps I’d missed something. The Lumiat: she’s has been in a couple of other audios (Masterful and Timelord Immemorial)  - both of which I’ve heard but in the wrong order. Gina Mckee pays the Lumiat, for me always remembered for being on the Lenny Henry show. I don't really remember much about her from those audios though. With the Lumiat showing up ...
