Class. The oft forgotten spinoff of the modern series which lasted a mere season. Thankfully, Big Finish remembered its existence and graced us with four boxsets of new adventures set during the original season, yet the question of the final episode's cliffhanger still loomed in the air, unanswered. Despite my hopes for it, Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince does not answer all the questions left at the end of the first season. What it does do is hint at what happened to the characters after the final episode and provide further backstory, especially for Charlie and Matteusz's relationship, and it does so in a way that is just as satisfying as if it had been a continuation of the original series.

I've not seen the original Peladon story, The Curse of Peladon, but a few years ago, I did watch The Monster of Peladon, and though it wasn't the best story, I certainly enjoyed seeing a new Third Doctor episode. I also listened to The Bride of Peladon, with the Fifth Doctor and Erimem, a few years ago, and it also wasn't the greatest story, but I still enjoyed it (though even as I write that, I remember virtually nothing of the story). However, Peladon, a Doctor Who set released in January of last year promised a series of stories with political intrigue, and this convinced me to listen to it, in the hopes that it would be similar to Gallifrey. Though the set wasn't entirely what I expected, I greatly enjoyed it, and it was a solid release with no bad stories and many references to the original Peladon episodes. |
