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 Last Days of the Powell Estate The Ninth Doctor Adventures 4.2 The Doctor and Rose find themselves in the future, 2036 , to be exact. Though, when Rose discovers that the run down, derelict building they’ve arrived at is what left of the Powell estate , she starts to worry about her mother… It feels like quite a wait since the last episode. I’m not one for binge listening, but with Chris and Billie back together, you just want more. They meet a guy doing a video about strange places who tells the Doctor and Rose about an entity dubbed ‘ Mr Fingers ’. People feel a hand on their shoulder but when they turn round no ones there, feel it twice and you’re gone. The idea would make quite a nice horror film. It has the ingredients, the empty building, the sense of something unreal, people disappearing. The fact that once there felt the hand, if they turn around next time, they’re a goner.  The entity exists both in Roses time and the future, so we get Jackie and her friend in 2006...

The Skeleton Quay                        Jago and Litefoot 6.1                                 Jago and Litefoot arrive back in their own time and are immediately accosted. The Queen needs their services. Ghosts are seen at a village lost to the sea. So if you didn’t know or had forgot, J&L spent the last series in the 1960’s. Here they are back where they belong, but we don’t get to catch up with Ellie , Sgt Quick etc. As they're off straight away. So the village of Shingle cove was washed away by the sea during a storm, but something would seem to be amiss as J&L start to see ghosts and visions of how the village was, and someone is out to stop them. Its does fall into that trope of small town by the sea, 73 yards does it, the Stuff of Legend also. Not that its necessarily a bad thing, but it sets the tone for the episode. The sea, cli...

Doctor Who : The Lost Stories  8.2 - DeathWorld When this came up as a deal/discount along with Operation Werewolf it was too hard to turn down. I’ve enjoyed Tim Treloars 3rd Doctor and likewise Micheal Troughton’s 2nd. These two Doctors work well with each other so its great to have more. This was the idea that later evolved into the Three Doctors. With Frazer Hines unavailable and William Hartnell too ill to take part fully this is a chance to experience what could have been. Each of the first three doctors are facing their own problems, when they come together on Deathworld, the enemy? Death themself.  Katy Manning and Frazer Hines are the only original cast members playing Jo and Jamie. It is a little odd with the rest being played by new people. For me its Stephen Noonan who I’ve not really got to know. No-one has ever really ‘got’ the first Doctor, they seem to forget his nice side. Stephen’s version isn’t quite there, he does have some of the mannerisms, whether he’ll g...
