Big Finish productions are a weird animal. Due to the small but dedicated fan base risks can be taken and you often find a lot of pockets of fans advocating some of the crazier releases, which invariably, perhaps to my detriment, I don't enjoy.
This is not a crazy release, well it is, but it's your typical, beautifully walking the line Doctor Who kind of crazy.
The story its self is rather dark and very much in the stlye of seasons 22/26 from the classic series. The mysteries are suitably well established and it's highly unlikely you'll see the end twist coming (but fortunately this isn't a case of a writer struggling to explain their bizarre build up, everything does, quite impressively, fall into place). Good atmosphere and some great production quality.
Whilst some of the extras are somewhat unimpressive the performances from Baker and Stables are superb.
It's not an absolute classic, if I could give half stars then it would be 4.5, but it's damned close.

Onboard a spaceship at the edge of the solar system, there is a door. People are hearing things. And this makes them desperate to go through the door. To whatever lies beyond..
The sixth doctor is aware that something is very wrong in the universe. So he heads to the ship to investigate.
And his investigation takes him to a steam train in the 1950's, which has a very important passenger on board...
The aim of this story is to put the doctor into a situation that he can't understand or control, and see how he reacts to it. And it succeeds in that respect, the doctor being almost as terrified of what's going on as the humans who are facing it with him.
You spend three episodes wondering what's beyond the door. The answers, when they come in part four, do at first feel familiar to certain tv stories, but then develop further into something rather unique. Although you may have to think a while about them, and certainly about how things are resolved.
And after that comes a powerfully emotional tardis scene with the doctor and evelyn trying to deal with what has just happened. It's memorable stuff, and it's a pretty good story

'The Nowhere Place' is essentially a spooky story in space, with a mysterious door periodically opening and drawing the crew of a spaceship through it into...nowhere. A nicely bizarre offbeat idea, though sadly this is one of those Big Finish stories that doesn't quite have enough ideas for a double-CD play: once the initial premise is set up the entire first disc consists of the Doctor and companion Evelyn getting arrested, locked-up, running around in circles without advancing the play anywhere. It's not until disc 2 that we get some variety with a side-trip to a 1950's locomotive before the story is wrapped up in a mass of technobabble. All in all though this story is still recommended for it's originality - it just takes it's sweet time getting anywhere...
