Now that the lock-down is easing up a bit Big Finish have finally started issuing physical copies of their CD's and well worth the wait the latest Doctor Who adventure was! Number 263 in the main series (not counting spin-offs, specials and more) features Colin Baker reprising the role of the Sixth Doctor.
The Tardis gets caught in a space-time vortex and crashes on the planet Cygia-Rema. This is a world ruled by sentient birds called the Vultriss who no longer fly but yearn for the opportunity to return to the skies. It is also a time of rebellion and first contact as aliens have made contact and are on their way.

It comes as no surprise that the Doctor and his human companions Flip and Constance are mistaken for the Ambassadors. Welcome to a world of mountains and giant carnivorous birds, not that Voltriss are not amiss in eating birds lower down the food chain. No different to us humans eating other mammals as the Doctor points out to a confused Flip musing about cannibalism.
Of course this being Doctor Who things get confused as the Ice Warriors arrive and open fire.....

It seems the Queen of the Voltriss is not what she seems and as plots thicken and terrorist attacks take place the Doctor finds himself in a cell once again. There is a secret on this planet one which may destroy half a universe.
A rather enjoyable four part adventure that shows once again that potential of the Sixth Doctor was both underestimated and underused by the BBC at the the time Colin Baker was at the helm. Big Finish have once again given us a cracking old school story for the nights in.
And there's plenty more to come!
