There's one place in creation where the truth really can be found in the bottom of a glass: Bianca's, a very special and very exclusive little club.
The Doctor, careworn and seeking quiet distraction, gains admission. But his rest and relaxation is soon shattered by the wobbly arrival of louche trans-temporal adventuress Iris Wildthyme. She claims she's on a secret mission of vital importance, the success of which hinges on her getting paralytic. When she's drunk, she can hear the whispering voices in her head!
The Doctor soon learns that Bianca's airs and graces cover not just one malevolent power lurking in the shadows, but several. And a wriggling, writhing presence has designs on the clientele just as Bianca herself has designs on the Doctor. At last, after so many centuries, the weary Time Lord is dragged by the heels into that darkest of undiscovered countries - love.
Colin Baker is at his best here and Iris Wildthyme (Katy Manning) is a great foil for him. Highly recommended.

Another audio adventure for the sixth doctor who. This time, travelling on his post the tv story trial of a time lord, a careworn doctor has come to a bar in 1930's berlin, run by an old friend of his. But he finds she has a few problems of her own.
The tale is told in flashback, by one of the supporting cast in framing scenes set many years later. The doctor's old friend is iris wildthyme, a time lady played by katy manning who played the third doctor's companion jo onscreen. She plays Iris as a larger than life northern lady complete with a very strong accent in the 'eecky thoomp' style.
You'll either love or hate the iris character, and much of whether you like this one or not will hinge on that. personally I got tired of her after one book appearance, so this didn't desperately appeal. And the plot of this story is distinctily underwhelming. There are attempts at humour that are very strained, two underwhelming cliffhangers, and a plot that never really gets going till the last episode. And even then it's slightly familiar from one of the tv stories. This episode is a lot better than the preceding three, and there's a nice little twist in the final scene. Colin Baker plays the careworn doctor very well, but on the whole this is a rather underwhelming release and not desperately interesting.
