A glimpse into the past and future,
By Peter Ingemi (Worcester County, Massachusetts United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Mutant Phase (Dr Who Big Finish) (Audio CD)
The Mutant Phase looks into the past by using the Dalek Invasion of Earth as the background for this adventure.The Daleks have a problem, mutations are causing all kinds of trouble and only the Doctor can solve the problem. Meanwhile the Doctor finds him self and Nyssa in setting familiar to him where he is trying to extricate himself. The acting isn't particularly memorable, Davidson and Sutton are their normal good and the supporting cast does nothing to advance or retard the action but it is the plot that brings this to 4 stars. At one port you have the Doctor and Nyssa squaring off on what things in history can be changed and what can't. The subject is Adric (and is pre The Boy That Time Forgot (Doctor Who) ) it along with the last ten minutes are particularly enjoyable. One historical note, this was the last Big Finish release before 8th Doctor Paul McGann joined with Doctor Who: Storm Warning (Big Finish Audio Drama).

The Daleks are falling prey to a mysterious ailment. Believing the Doctor can reverse the effects they trap the TARDIS in a time corridor.Scriptwriter Nicholas Briggs knows a thing or two about Daleks. In addition to voicing them for both Big Finish and the new series, he's also written the Dalek Empire series. So it's no surprise that this story, which ties into the classic series episode The Dalek Invasion of Earth is positively steeped in Dalek mythos. We have Robomen, Thals, and Skaro. I quite like the first three parts of the story. It's nice to see the Daleks worried about something other than how to most efficiently exterminate everything in sight. However, the final resolution, which relies on a convenient and rather nonsensical time paradox, is a bit of a letdown. 3 stars. |
