"One of the early Big Finish plays. This is closest they got to the TV version of Colin Baker with a fairly intelligent script tailor-made for this format. (Can be hard to follow at times). Not bad."
"Brilliantly evokes the Ace/Doctor of the tv days. Well researched and riveting story. Loved every word! (I like the more abrasive Ace just as I like the more abrasive 6th doctor!)"
"Historical Who at its best. Oliver Cromwell is a very interesting 3D character. The interplay between Hex and Ace has truly refreshed the character of the latter. And the Doctor gets to be a Doctor!"
"Colin Baker has matured into a less abrasive audio Doctor in this informative historical. Evelyn is a decent companion allowing a far more mature interplay than Peri! Above average."
"An excellent play featuring my least favourite audio doctor. The gritty realism would suit Colin Baker more but Peter Davison is excellent. Divided into 6 short parts; based on a rollerball type game."
"New start for the 7th doctor, introducing new companion Hex. This revitalises McCoy & Ace. The first few episodes have a wonderful 'Unearthly Child' feel. Shame the storyline isn't too strong."
"This early play starts off very evocatively (I really felt I was in the rainforest). Straightforward plot but overall a well performed first dalek play."
"Excellent historical. Educational and entertaining. Full of action with great interplay between the doctor, peri and erimem. The other characters are complex and wonderfully realised."
"Straightforward story but entertaining and involving throughout with excellent cliffhangers. The asylum setting is wonderful and McCoy plays a grrreat madman! McCoy and Mel are great together in BF."
"Not BF but entertaining strong story accompanied by a great classical music score. I love the resolution. Strange rewriting of the doctors mythology (in a different & opposite way to the tv play)."
"I laughed out loud a few times and this is entertaining and amusing throughout. The plot is unimportant the situations and characters are brilliant. Light doctor who at its best!"
"I don't rate this as higly as most. It's mostly simplistic and silly but the Gilbert & Sullivan operatics in episode 3 are worth hearing. 'I am the very model of a Gallifreyan buccaneer...'!"
