'Following on from last month's release 'Dust
Breeding' which saw the return of a classic enemy in the form of the master, it
was time for another to appear and this time it was the Silurians. They have
made appearances in Doctor Who and the Silurians in 1970 and in Warriors of the
Deep in 1984. This story had the potential to be a great story.
This is Jonathan Morris's debut story and he has
written a script that has a lot of pace and more importantly it had the
entertaining factor. The Actors in this all work well and the use of Silurians
are used in a constructive way and you get the feeling that the story isnt
around just to say 'Hay, lets have the Siluairans, that would be good for a
laugh'. They are integral to what makes the story what it is.
Colin Baker is very good as we have come to expect
and it is interesting to see his version of the doctor develop to what it has
got to now and it shows what could have been achieved with the role given the
right people and scripts. Maggie Stables is excellent as Evelyn, this is now
her fifth story and the role is a good companion. Daniel Hogarth is very good
as Tulok and all the other cast members which included Jez Fielder who played
Frobisher in the Holy Terror and the writer of Jubilee Robert Shearman.
The script is very good and moves along at a great
pace and overall this is a very good story which was helped with a batch of
good actors and good music. One of the all-time greats of the Big Finish
series.'
