The second series of Missy's adventures finally arrived from Big Finish after to pandemic delay and worth the wait it was. Michelle Gomez is absolutely fabulous as the female incarnation of the Master and this may shock fans of the original, late great Roger Delgado but she is and will probably remain my favourite.
Psychotic, funny, playful, murderess, what else could one want from Missy and when delivered in such a perfect fashion one could almost (and I do mean almost but not ever really) forgive her death dealing attention seeking. Life and everyone one else in the universe remains a play thing to Missy.
This second set of four adventures sees Missy meet a good version of herself and doesn't like it one bit especially when she's trying to get the attention of the Doctor and finds someone else spoiling her fun. The Lumiat certainly kicks off this season with some high class fun.
Talking of classes what on earth does Missy want when she becomes a headmistress of a British Public School? Brimstone and Terror also sees the return of Oliver Davis and the far more formidable Lucy Davis from series one alongside a guest appearance by Strax or "Potato Head" as Missy unkindly refers to him. What nefarious power does our Mistress seek?
Next up is the Gunpowder Plot plus a our Missy as she tries to change history by making the plot work. Trouble is she has the Time Police on the trail and Rita Cooper may be a rookie but with luck and a little outside intervention she might, just might stop the renegade Time Lord from turning London into a crater. Penny for the Guy in Treason and Plot.
Finally there's another renegade Time Lord meddling in history who might just be a Monk we all remember. The enemy in this very strange but oddly entertaining adventure with the thickest villains in the Doctor Who universe take a turn for the unusual as the scene is set for a third series. Did someone mention....... Ogrons and their Queen. Missy's never seen a female one and neither have we.
I really enjoyed this set as you can probably tell. Worth picking up!
