Doctor Who: Dark Universe


























The latest release from Big Finish is a really terrific full cast audio drama featuring Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace. This is number #260 in their monthly series of classic Doctor Who adventures under licence from the BBC. And that's not including the box sets, Companion adventures and spin-offs galore they have turned out over the years.

Like the TV series the stories can be variable depending on one's own individual tastes. However this one is actually top-notch featuring a new villain that should actually be written into the TV canon. His name? Eleven.

The Doctor is playing the fool as usual despite the stakes and the ultimate threat to universe that the quest of Eleven is. Eleven is helped by Ace seemingly on a different side this time. And she no longer annoyingly calls the Doctor "Professor" inpart due to the fact this is in her future and she is now one herself...

As for Eleven he is a Time Lord with a real difference. Named after his latest incarnation he has an amusing demenour that is great fun.

I highly recommend this release so if you haven't ever heard one of these or not purchased one in a long time this is more than worth the price of entry.

Rating has to be 5 Stars
