Format:Audio CD
Continuing his impressive progress from 'least-liked' TV Doctor to audio darling, Colin Baker provides four more seamlessly strong performances, ably supported by Nicola Bryant's feisty transatlantic botanist, Peri. The stories range from historical intrigue to futuristic drama, and are all excellent. A great way to celebrate the big 150 for Big Finish's Doctor Who monthly releases, and a reminder that there are plenty of great Doctor Who stories still waiting to be told.

In my experience most of these 4x1 episode collections contain a great story, two average and one not so good; I'm pleased to say that this collection contains four gems for the Sixth Doctor and Peri.
Recorded Time - Henry VIIIth, Anne Boleyn, proposals of marriage and so forth make for a great romp that sets the collection rolling
Paradoxicide - a timey wimey story of abandoned planets, super weapons and just desserts
A Most Excellent Match - Jane Austen, marriage proposals (again) this time from the Doctor to Peri, dodgy geezers and war refugees that works much better than it should
Question Marks - a poignant tale with a clever ending that also has a great performance from Raquel Cassidy (who also featured in Paradoxicide)
My favourite is Question Marks, but there isn't a bad story amongst the lot

This is a really great collection of 4 stories; each in a different time and place, but each really well plotted and played. I think more and more, as I listen to Colin Baker audio stories, that it's such a great pity that his time on the tv series portrayed him as rather unlikeable and aggressive; in the Big Finish audio stories, his character is really well portrayed, and his interaction with Mel and now Peri is really great - the Sixth Doctor really is a likeable chap!
These stories range from an adventure with Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, and a really fascinating concept on the recording of time; to the search for a fabled cache of weapons; to a story based on the great eighteenth-century British novels; to the last story where we seem to come into the beginning of the story, but find ourselves at the end of it.
All the stories have in common the fact that time is somehow twisted in them all; nothing is quite as it seems, and each story has a catch in it that really shows the masterful plotting and writing involved in each; while these could be considered `short stories' the listener is never short-changed on the deliverable.
One of the things that really struck me, in the last story, was the really clever way in which dialogue cuts from being behind, say, a door, to the perspective of being right beside the speaker - for the listener, this audio trick allows the listener to `move' within the scenarios of the story, from one place to another, and remaining connected to both the characters and the story. Not sure I explained that well, but you'll see (or hear) what I mean when you listen to the story.
Thoroughly recommended; a great addition to the Doctor stories. All the cast play their various parts brilliantly; I found the third story a little weaker than the others, but they were all tremendous.
