Danger Will Robinsion Danger! Really boring episode!
This is the lowest rank I’ve ever given any Doctor Who Big Finish Adventure Companion Chronicles Adventure and tied for my worst ever ranking for a Big Finish Audio. It is rather ironic since the two of the three I disliked the most both involved Romana a character I like and who is first rate in the Gallifery audio series. Whatever do you Don’t buy this as your first experience of the Big finish Doctor Who series, you don’t get much more boring that this one.
The writer has a blog here and is likely a lot better than this episode shows but I can’t believe how bad this was. To give you an idea I listened to it right after The Prisoner of Peladon and The Eight Truths I can tell you quite a bit about both of them but I can’t tell you anything worth telling about this one, it was that forgettable.
If you are a reader of this author I would be interested in your opinion. Am I just missing something or what?
If you are collecting the entire set I suppose you must buy it. If I might suggest that can be the filler you use when placing an order at Mike’s Comics which offers free shipping on CD’s with an order of $60 or more. I can’t think of a better reason or frankly any other reason to buy it.
Update: I forgot about Terror Firma, which also earned 2 stars, but this one is worse that that one, at least that one is memorable, bad memorable but memorable, this one isn’t.

IMHO the book neatly bridges the gap between seasons 17 and 18 of Doctor Who. The story has a real ‘hard’ science fiction’ feel to it, in line with many of the televised stories from this era such as Nightmare of Eden and The Leisure Hive, and I could easily imagine this story being transmitted. It’s a very atmospheric and tense adventure, with some wonderful sound effects and music that really suck the listener into the story. Lalla Ward reads brilliantly, I think she’s one of the best narrators in the companion chronicles range. In execution the story feels more at home in the serious and thought-provoking season 18, than the rather silly and lightweight season 17, although the Doctor is presented more like the jokey Doctor of season 17, so the story bridges the transition well. The 60-ish minute run time feels just right, it doesn’t outstay it’s welcome but tells a good strong tale, with plenty of incident and never feels rushed or padded. A very strong entry in the Companion Chronicles series.
