I sadly didn't get a chance to review this immediately after finishing this volume, so this review will be more of an overview of the volume as a whole than talking about each individual issue.

This episode reunited the Fourth Doctor and Jago and Litefoot on audio for the first time ever. I was sadly disappointed with this episode. John Dorney has written some of my favorite stories in any medium like Absent Friends from Doom Coalition 3. Sadly, I felt that this episode wasn't quite as good as some of his others. That said, not every episode by a writer can be great, and this episode certainly had some good elements. The number one thing I enjoyed in this episode was Jago. I've never been a fan of his and Litefoot's stories, but with episodes such as this, I have started realizing that they are enjoyable characters. His speaking pattern is very unique and Dorney did a good job capturing it. There is a bit of a nice emotional scene at the end of the episode that was reminiscent of some of Dorney's other, more emotional works. That said, this episode was rather forgettable. The only really memorable thing was the emotional ending, but outside of that, this felt a lot like a typical Doctor Who story in Victorian London. Overall, this was a decent, yet sadly forgettable episode. This episode is famous for being the worst Doctor Who episode ever. I knew this going in, but since I accidentally ended up owning it, I decided I ought to give it a listen. I never should have.
I am sad to say that this story didn't live up to my expectations. After the wonderful story that was Thin Ice, I was expecting a lot out of this story. Sadly, it didn't deliver.
This is the opening episode of the audio spin-off Counter-Measures and in this review, I will discuss whether I think this series works based off this first episode.
This is a story I've had on my list to listen to for a while but I never got around to it until today.
I've long debated whether or not I should listen to Big Finish's Bernice Summerfield range. Since I was starting to need a break from regular Doctor Who, I decided that it might be a good idea to finally try this series. Thankfully, I was not disappointed with this wonderful episode.
There are some reviews where I mainly focus on one aspect of the story. This is going to be one of those reviews, and today I will be focusing on Mike Yates.
