And you can't say too much about this story without giving things away. Which would be a shame, because this is an excellent piece of work.
It would have been easy for david collings to play the doctor just like silver in sapphire and steel, but instead he gives us a very different interpretation of the character, and it's one that commands attention. Dangerous genetic experiments are going on, and the doctor is out to stop them...
And you will not forget the end in a hurry! Great stuff

What if... the Doctor believed that the ends justified the means? That is the question posed in "Full Fathom Five", the third Doctor Who Unbound story. David Collings (perhaps best known as Silver in Sapphire And Steel) is the actor tasked with bringing to live this ruthless version of the Doctor and he does a superb job. Collings Doctor is a very cold character who for one reason or another no longer cares about the consequences of his actions. I should point out that the Doctor is still the hero of the story but a hero who will do anything to achieve his goals, even going so far as killing two characters.
"Full Fathom Five" is written by David Bishop who provides a fast paced script that never gets dull and isnt without its twists and turns. The ending is with out doubt the most shocking thing about this story and I really cant say much about it without spoiling it. Needless to say though, the TV series could never have an ending like "Full Fathom Five" which I guess is the whole point of the Doctor Who Unbound series.
There really isnt anything negative I can say about "Full Fathom Five". An excellent script coupled with superb acting and a brilliant ending make it one of the best Doctor Who audios available.

Warning: Plot spoilers ahead

This is one of the "Unbound" stories by Big Finish Productions. The "Doctor Who: Unbound" BBC radio series featured The Doctor in alternate realities, i.e., "what if...?" story lines. In this story, what if The Doctor believed the end justified the means? This really isn't some far our idea as the producers must have thought, considering past story lines on the TV series. The Doctor has even used genocide in the past on the TV series (both old and new) when he felt there was no alternative. He even destroyed Galifrey and the Time Lords when he saw no other alternative. So he does believe the ends justifies the means depending on the situation.
This story has a bit of a "plot twist" at the end which I didn't like at all. The Doctor, in order to stop genetic mutations from finding their way into he human population, kills who ever he feels he must...and this time it's 2 or 3 people, not entire planets. The Doctor comes off as being a bad guy, which is a bit too much of an alternate reality for me, and probably most other Whovians. At the end of the story, the companion Ruth, kills the Doctor, the Doctor regenerates, and she kills him again, wondering if she has enough bullets to finish him off for good ("I wonder how many lives this b-----d has?"). Not a very happy ending! The production values and writing were good, for which it gets two stars instead of one, but the story itself was bad.
However, the other stories I've heard in the Unbound series are far better than this one. I would recommend "The Masters Of War", (which I'd give 5 stars) which features the Daleks...and I won't spoil the rest of that one for you.
