Danger Will Robinsion Danger! Really boring episode!

My review of the Big Finish Companion Chronicles 4.04 The Pyralis Effect staring Lalla Ward as the 2nd incarnation of Romana with the 4th Doctor is available at Amazon.com here.

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.
