VINE™ VOICE
A densely packed story with the return of Flip (from The Crimes of Thomas Brewster) and more notably (perhaps) Terry Molloy as Davros. A good romp through the battlefields of Waterloo and lots of humour sprinkled in (I laughed out loud on the train when Flip met Napoleon).
There is a plot twist that I spotted early and this did nothing to spoil my enjoyment; the resolution is solid and on the evidence of this episode there is plenty of mileage in the latest companion.
My only complaints were around how brutal some of the opening scenes were and how matter of fact the characters were in the face of bloodshed. The humour did help lighten the mood and I imagine on a re-listen I might score this higher.
We await The Fourth Wall eagerly!

My initial impressions of this audio drama were not favourable - Phillipa 'Flip' Jackson's grating Estuary English and an opening that reminded me of 'The Ultimate Adventure' immediately set my teeth on edge, however by the time of the unusual arrival of the Sixth Doctor, my interest had been piqued, especially by his unusually clipped phraseology and slightly forced manner.
By the time the play had finished, I was still struggling to get over what is a very vacuous and one-dimensional companion for The Doctor; certainly compared with the likes of Evelyn Smythe and Charlie Pollard, but the play itself is a decent if unspectacular effort, with what is arguably one of the greatest reveals the series has ever seen at the end of disc one.

A great historica romp for the Dr. I wondered if Davros was being over used, but actually, it works brilliantly, he is more like the Master, trying to change the course of history. There is history, philosophy, action, adventure and humour. Well done the big finish team.

A great twist
I'm yet to find any of the Big Finish stories that I hate, and that continues with this months releases. It's great to have Davros back and the twists in the plot are great. Read more
