Ok, girls. Look away for this first bit.
Guys, you NEED to listen to this story. The story line may not be fantastic, but at one point, Peri wakes up naked, and stumbles around looking for her clothes. That's all I'm saying! See (well, listen, unfortunately) for yourself. Its only taken Doctor Who twenty-odd years to get her from a bikini to completely naked in a Doctor Who story. Well done, Big Finish. We thank you.
Anyway, hello to the ladies, who hopefully skipped that first bit. Now, it's time to talk about cats. Drummed cat "Antranak" annoyed me completely. Peri and Erimem seemed to love him, but I was on the Fifth Doctors side for this one! But at least the cat saved the day. It's the least it could have done for annoying me.
This is the third story for Erimem (I think) And I'm enjoying her character. But I didn't have high hopes for this story. In fact, I had no hopes at all. And by the end of it, I was so glad I went into it with no hopes of listening to a good story. [Apart from the bit mentioned in the first paragraph]
I think Big Finish didn't like this story, either, because they didn't even bother with the cover. They threw the Fifth Doctor, Peri and Erimem over a photo of the moon, and made it all green... I hope it didn't bust them.
But I find that a good cover often makes up for a bad story, so this story had no chance. This is by far one of the worst big finish stories I've ever listened to. It's two hours of my life that I'll never get back, and a waste of a night in. It is probably worth a listen, though. For the Peri nude scene and the death of the cat... Sigh, why couldn't this have been an televised adventure, so we could see those two scenes?
So, in conclusion, I'm going to give this a low rating, but the points it has have only been achieved because this story had a naked Peri, and that damn cat finally got killed. Of you want to give this story a listen, I recommend that you start about halfway through.
3/10
