Review of Catch-1782 by 15thDoctor

8 January 2025

This review contains spoilers!

A gently paced story that takes quite some time to become eventful. Eventually Mel gets thrown back in time and trapped in her own family history. It’s good, clean fun propped up by superb character acting, but my God - it moves slowly. It’s a nice change of pace from some of my more recent Big Finish which has new ideas flying at you every minute, but I’m glad this is not typical of Big Finish’s output.

The best element of this play is seeing the master of the house (Henry Hallam) slowly be revealed as a possessive maniac. It is a very unusual kind of peril for a companion to find themselves in. Hallam’s cruel response to his housekeeper’s affection is the highlight of the play and reveals how damaged he is.

It’s all very polite, safe and unsurprising, but at the same time an enjoyable ride.
