Lots of doctor who stories involve a remote base, with a small crew of humans, under siege by nasty monsters.
This is a base under siege story with a difference. In that the humans inside this base are trying desperately to get out. But there is a monster in their midst.
The tardis lands in a strange building. And they quickly meet people who are desperate to get out of it. The doctor is separated from his companions, and meets the people who built the place.
There is a monster loose in it, and it kills without discrimination. And since it's a monster of the mind, you can't see where it's coming from. Or who it's with.
A good solid piece of traditional doctor who, this is a pretty engaging listen. The characters manage to rise above the level of cliche to become three dimensional, and the plot grips all the way.
The last episode is dramatic stuff, when everything comes to a head. Not everyone walks away. And the reaction the doctor has to this is brilliantly portrayed by paul mcgann.
A good strong audio story that's well worth a listen

This is the eighty third release from Big Finish in their range of full cast audio adventures starring classic Doctor Whos. It stars Paul McGann as Eight, India Fisher as Charlie and Conrad Westmaas as C'rizz. There are 4 episodes, roughly 30-35 minutes each, complete with original theme music between each, and cliff hanger endings. Two episodes per disc on 2 discs, and a short booklet with some pictures of the cast and production notes.
After the tense, interesting and esciting `Time Works', I found this to be an underwhelming adventure for Eight and his companions. There's a feeling of over familiarity, been there done that. Strange psychic monsters. An amnesiac Doctor. LOTS of running around corridors. A small group of people isolated and under siege. The first three episodes a nothing new. Worse, though the actors do their best (especially the three principles) it is poorly written, with too much running up and down screaming `the mind worm is coming', and not even the great Paul McGann can d much with a line as banal and out of character as `come on if you think you're hard enough'. And as for the resolutions of the various situations for the Doc, it does seem all a bit too easy, merely invoking his superior mental powers and suddenly everything is OK. And the writing is so poor that I never really got a sense of the cube, no sense of place to visualise the story in.
In the final episode, to their credit, things do get a little more interesting as the remaining characters try to work out which one is unconsciously the monster, but it is too little too late.
The final nail in the coffin, for me, is the music. All the way through there is a somewhat incongruous eighties disco soundtrack that keeps invading the story.... Read more ›

I was going to review this a good while back when i first heard it. But, due to whatever reason, it took till now and my second listen. And i am very glad i waited. For this is a fantastic story. The first time round i clearly...just didn't get it. Its difficult to explain. The first time round i percieved it as a pointless escapade with lots of shouting about the Brainworm and lots of violent head-meltings. On second listening, you appreciate something...so much more potent about it. Particularly the Brainworm...which, in my opinion is one of the best monsters...of AUDIO. You don't need to see it (indeed, you can't) to know its there and that it means business. The sound crew excel here - the unrelenting menace of the brainworm is brought about by audio cues and a superb soundtrack. However, this being audio, you always hope for a standout moment; whether it be one of the spectacular cliffhangers or simply one of the Doctor's quotes...well in this one, you certainly won't be disapointed. The "I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE" line had me grinning like an idiot on the London Underground. It was brilliant.
Some of the ideas are magnificently realised; the Cube itself, a prison for Psykes (psychological soldiers) - and the sense of inescapability and claustrophobia never more so heightened.
Paul McGann is excellent, showing a little edgier side than the normal, yet retaining his hilarious immaturity. The supporting cast are all as good as can be expected, although i am getting tired of C'Rizz now. Charley is the doc's companion and can stay as long as she wants, but come on C'Rizz, lets have your dark secret revealed and be done with it.
Shhh listen...here that music...that means...that means...its coming. Its the Brainworm...

On my first listen I thought this was very good indeed.Effectively a mash up of base under siege and a prison break, with torture scenes and a lethal creature on the loose.
Thinking about it later,I'm not so sure.The brisk pace of the story,masks a few holes in the plot,which are skipped over rather too quickly.Some of the supporting cast are a bit OTT in the later scenes.Worst of all, the incidental music is intrusive at times,distracting one from the story.
This is a decent adventure for Eight.A good yarn,but there is no real depth or character development. It's an enjoyable enough listen,but not a classic.
