A film on a disc!,
By big mad doctor who guy "Christian on a mission!" (Poole, Dorset) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Apocalypse Element (Doctor Who) (Audio CD)
The daleks have been done to death in doctor who, not many people now do good stories featuring these old classic but in my opinion overrated monsters. But it is great that nearly every big finish play to feature the daleks has been excellent, with new and fresh ideas to revive a waning monster. The guys at big finish always seem to bring back monsters well that otherwise wouldnt even be that interesting. New stories and new yarns are what are needed!
The apocalypse element is BIG. its one of the few big finish audios that really sound like a film on disc. most stories are great doctor who stories on audio, but not as grand as to make them feel like a film. One of the things about this play is its scale. And it involves Romana, closer to her screen persona than the confused and mixed up idiot she is in the far too politically based spin 0ff series gallifrey. I like Romana as a character and i feel she is badly done in the gallifrey series. But in all of her doctor who appearances she is nearer to her screen counterpart and this is one of her best performances as a captive of the daleks. This story develops well and at quite a fast pace considering how long this play is. But it is highly entertaining with plenty of great dalek moments. They are totally psychotic on this one i tell you. And there are plenty of great and gross moments. Colin Baker of course is on top form as the underappreciated sixth doctor, and Maggie Stables is brilliant as Evelyn. So, all in all this is a fine adventure, a lot mkore enjoyable than Stephen's last effort for the big finish series.

Daleks I love you,

An epic Doctor Who adventure from Big Finish, The Apocalypse Element is sweeping and grandiose and is one of the best in the series so far. Apart from the ever-irritating Evelyn Smythe this is top-notch; the addition of former companion Romana as incumbent President of Gallifrey is simply the icing on a damn fine cake.

Doctor Who - The Apocalypse Element,
By
This review is from: The Apocalypse Element (Doctor Who) (Audio CD)
This is in my opinion one of the best Big Finish adventures - it sweeps along at a cracking pace to its unexpected ending. The Fifth Doctor and Evelyn are on top form - the scope of the story is worthy of being made in to a TV film - would be great.
The main tenet of the story is interesting - how far do you go to stop destruction of other worlds even at the possible destruction of your own. The ending is a shock too and thought provoking - listen to it and make your own mind up.
