Essas histórias do 5º Doutor não parecem ter grande peso no início dos áudios da BF. Falta charme, falta a atmosfera mais profunda de DW... Infelizmente... ( )

This story had a lot of really cool ideas but wasted misty of them in favor of arguing thinly disguised as character drama. The ideas -- including a crazy explanation for the Permian Extinction - are really cool though, so despite annoyances it gets three stars. ( )

The Land of the Dead takes the Fifth Doctor, but this time with Nyssa, to contemporary Alaska besieged by creatures from the Permian era. I would defend Nyssa against the likes of The Guardian who put her far down the list of companions, but Sarah Sutton is not especially outstanding here. Davison, however, is, and has a brilliant rapport with guest actor Lucy Campbell, whose performance here is memorable but appears to have done almost no other acting work apart from a bit part in another Stephen Cole Big Finish audio. Also the story is surprisingly good, with the archaeological delvings of the scientific researchers mirrored in the psychological delvings of the two main male characters into the circumstances of the tragic accident involving their fathers from decades before. The two actors slightly struggle to bring it off but it kept my attention. ( )
