Big Finish Lost Adventures #3.02, October 2011
Sadly, this story is a bit too happy-go-yawny for me. This is the first script that for me is obviously a TV script first because there are moments where Jezzavar or Zellenger, I couldn’t quite tell the difference, are going nuts on the Doctor and I just didn’t feel it. There are moments of tension that just didn’t translate well to the audio-only medium which I think could’ve made this story amazing on TV. The turnaround of the bad guys is very refreshing, too. They actually LISTEN to the Doctor? Really? Say it isn’t so because man, that just never happens! But it makes for a bland story overall. So just 3 jelloids for this one.
