Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the thirty third and a half release from Big Finish in their range of full cast audio adventures starring classic Doctor Whos. It stars Colin Baker as Six and Robert Jezek as Frobisher. There are two episodes, roughly 25-30 minutes each, complete with original theme music between each, and cliff hanger ending. The release has 1 disc, and a short booklet with some pictures of the cast and production notes. It was originally released as a freebie with regular release 33, Neverland.
This is a quirky and fun tale, playing up to Who's potential for comedy. It's a pastiche of the film noir of the forties and fifties, with a plot, characters and dialogue taken straight from the Maltese Falcon, with more than a few nods to Raymond Chandler's Marlowe novels. Jezek and Baker have a lot of fun, especially Baker who gets to play an interesting take on the Doc.
It's short and sharp, and the McGuffin is an interesting concept. The various takes on classic noir stereotypes are funny, especially to those like myself who are fans of the genre. It's highly entertaining, so gets 5 stars from me.

This is the audio adventure of Frosbisher the shape changing penguin. I have seen some people have a problem as he isnt an "offical" companion but that shouldnt have any effect on if this is a good adventure.
The story is a Sam Spade/Film Noir pastiche and whilst related to Doctor Who is almost stand alone. The doctor does appear but only briefly.
A played for laugh adventures that uses the audio medium well and one for fans of black and white 30s movies.
The story moves at pace and written to a high standard by the excellent Rob Shearman. Well worth a listen and if you enjoy this investigate the Holy Terror, a different story by the same author.

This was a light hearted extra CD available free to subscribers at [...]. I have not read the comic strips / books that this came from and so had no idea what to expect. This is a 'sort of' pastiche Sam Spade tale in itself it is fine I just didn't like the whole shape shifting penguin thing
