This review is from: Secret of Cassandra (Bernice Summerfield Big Finish) (Audio CD)

Warning 1: there have been two different covers for this release, one good, one not so good. (Try and get the one with the Adrian Salmon design.)

Warning 2: the 'new' theme tune is absolutely awful; a wretched rock ballad that will have you reaching for the sick bag. Thankfully, someone saw sense and three discs later we were back with the far superior Alistair Lock original.

These two caveats aside, 'The Secret of Cassandra' is a very neat little story, coming from the time before every Bernice story had to include a former Doctor Who monster (a sales tactic, no doubt). Of the small cast, Lennox Greaves (as Captain Colley) stands out; very easy on the ear and a lovely foil for Lisa Bowerman's Bernice.

All in all, one of the Professor's more intriguing, less frenetic stories and a very pleasant way to spend an hour in your headphones.

(If only they could remaster it without that dreadful song.)
