VINE™ VOICE
This 6th Doctor audio adventure is a superior sequel to the so-so story Arrangements For War, and also serves as the departure story for original audio companion Evelyn Smythe. The storyline is neatly divided into two halves: firstly dealing with rebels opposed to the scientific experimentation with alien technology - which leads to both Evelyn and Mel becoming involved n a hostage situation, and the second half, which deals with mysterious goings on in a hospital where Evelyn has had a heart complaint seen to. Full of vivid characters, solid plotting and menacing moments, with a nicely played overarching theme of the dysfunctional relationship between fathers and daughters mirrored in the Doctor and Evelyn's relationship, the only possible downside here will be for those listeners not fully au fait with Evelyn's audio adventures, as not only is this a sequel to Arrangements For War but you'll need to have heard Project: Twilight and Project: Lazarus to make sense of the coda. For those up on their continuity though, this is wonderful stuff.

This is the seventy third release from Big Finish in their range of full cast audio adventures starring classic Doctor Whos. It stars Colin Baker as Six, Maggie Stables as Evelyn, Bonnie Langford as Mel and Gabriel Woolfe as Rossiter. There are 4 episodes, roughly 25-30 minutes each, complete with original theme music between each, and cliff hanger endings. Two episodes per disc on 2 discs.
This audio is set sometime after the events of the superb `arrangements' for war'. After that story Evelyn travelled for a little while with Six, but eventually returned to Villag and married Rossiter. In this adventure Six takes Mel to visit Evelyn. Later Evelyn/Six adventures are set in the period between arrangements for war and thicker than water.
This is a decent little character piece that looks at the relationship between the Doctor and his companions, and shows all the facets of Six's character. It shows him at his emotionally distant and petulant worst, and at his compassionate and heroic best. The story between him and Evelyn, as Evelyn moves on, is beautifully and believably done.
As well as the character piece there is a decent little adventure with mad scientists and weird experiments, kidnappings and dastardly deeds. A real cracker of a story, a worthy successor to arrangements.
Of especial note is Baker's performance. He really shows all the sides of the Doctor's character, and the depth of emotion he and Maggie Stables bring to the piece is quite staggering. 5 stars for this real belter of a story with a lot more depth than the usual run around.

This audio is a sequel to the Big Finish story 'Arrangements for War' and The Doctor has returned tothe planet Vilag three years after his previous visit. Now Principle Triumvir, head of a tripartite government, Rossiter (now married to Evelyn Smythe, formerly a travelling companion of The Doctor) is working to secure a peaceful future for the planet by researching the technology the Killorans left behind. Unfortunately he is estranged from his daughter Sofia, who is campaigning for the destruction of all alien artefacts. Sofia doesn't like Evelyn either and this simmering dislike soon boils over into violence, hence the title of the story.
The Sixth Doctor and his carrot-juice supping companion Mel make a good team and Bonnie Langford proves she's not just an all singing all dancing automaton. Colin Baker is as good as ever and the story is a fascinating one, drawing on aspects of The Doctor and Evelyn's complicated relationship and giving the cast something to get their teeth into.
