Following the relaxing of the lock-down Big Finish are now fulfilling their physical orders (download purchases were available immediately) and Doctor Who: Scorched Earth arrived several days ago. It's taken me a while to finish this adventure having been distracted by binge watching DVD box sets of Doom Patrol, The Boys and watching late night reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
Sadly that was only part of the reason. I also kept putting off listening to the final two parts because I wasn't enjoying this story set in occupied France as the Second World War was entering it's final phases.
Having been impressed by Colin Bakers previous outing in Cry of the Vultriss which was pure classic Doctor Who this story just wasn't up to the standard. The appearance of an alien burning Nazi's at the whim of a resistance fighter just didn't work especially as things get out of hand and as for the ending (no spoilers) absolute rubbish.
Like it's parent programme there are sometimes naff stories. This was one but don't let it put you off picking up others. Big Finish do produce some excellent stuff! Just skip this one...
