4.0 out of 5 stars Viryan the hold!, 21 Nov 2009
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
After the excellent Paper Cuts, I was full of anticipation and hope for Charley Pollard's swansong. The story starts strongly, continuing on from its predecessor, as the truth about Mila and Charley finally begins to emerge against the backdrop of a dystopian future Earth, where a bizarre madness-inducing virus has decimated the planet's population and split the survivors into two mutually antagonistic factions. The Sixth Doctor and Mila arrive and are immediately co-opted into one of the groups, whilst the real Charley has other fish to fry...

I really enjoyed the dystopian future Earth idea, and the tension created through the rivalry between the different groups of survivors. However, I thought the Viryans disappointing - too one dimensional overall, and the ending seemed somehow rushed and garbled. Not a poor effort but not Big Finish's greatest hour either.

5.0 out of 5 stars the plague years, 15 Oct 2009
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Latest Doctor who audio play from big finish. Featuring Colin Baker as the Doctor and India Fisher as his companion Charley Pollard.

Four episodes spread over two discs each running for roughly twenty eight minutes bring to a close the ongoing story of the pair that has been told over the course of this and the previous six sixth doctor stories in the monthly releases.

So this is not a story for casual listeners. If you are one, start with The Condemned (Doctor Who).

If you are, then you'll hear a story where the Doctor and charley visit earth. only to find the planet in the grip of a deadly plague. The only help available comes from alien race the viyrans. And a passenger of theirs who is someone the doctor has met before.

Some humans co-operate with the viyrans. Some don't like them at all. But as the truth of what's happening here begisn to come to light some very big choices have to be made by all concerned. And for some of them, nothing will ever be the same again.

The first episode takes a while to get going as it has to set a lot of things up, but by the last few minutes you will begin to find yourself absorbed. The story certainly pulls no punches in depicting the effects that the plague has on people. The first cliffhanger is obvious long before it happens but it's very satisfying for regular listeners.

In the new few episodes the level of threat that the doctor and the human race faces gets ever larger, and the doctor's responses are written superbly well as he flies into the face of danger always trying to do the right thing. And getting to vent some moral indignation when the truth of the plague is revealed.

India fisher does some great acting in a dual role, and it's this that gives the final episode a memorable emotional strength. Plot lines are resolved. And you might just get a tear in your eye as a result.

But even so, there is one tantalising loose end left. And do be sure to listen to the very end of the credits for one final scene.

This is not the greatest doctor who story ever but it manages to bring this long ongoing one to a very satisfying close in a manner that you won't forget in a hurry. And for that it deserves a five star rating.

There are fifteen minutes of interviews with cast and crew at the end of episode two. These do contain some very minor hints and spoilers so you may not want to listen to them till after part four.

And after part four is episode seven of the three companions, a story that has been told one episode a time over the course of the most recent big finish releases. So it's something else that casual listeners may not be able to get into. But for regular ones this is a strong episode that moves the current part of the story along very nicely, and does give some hints about what one character may be up to.

All in all, a pretty memorable release
