This one is quite a unique Bernice Summerfield adventure, as it's the first and only to be represented in a visual medium. Every other Bernice Summerfield story has been told through books and audio dramas, whereas Dead And Buried is represented through the animated medium. The resulting animation is well made for a promotional piece by Big Finish, and reminds me a little of a DreamWorks film. Ironically, it's better animated than the BBC's Dreamland, which will have had a much bigger budget.
Dead And Buried sees Bernice Summerfield investigate a tomb on the suite of a previously undiscovered civilisation, and accidentally unleashing a robot who has instructions to kill her. It's a fun little adventure, that's reminiscent of Tomb Raider, and ends on a cliffhanger leading into the Big Finish audios Resurrecting The Past and Escaping The Future, where she is captured by the robot.
The twist that Braxiatel orchestrated the entire scenario with the undiscovered civilisation and the robot as a trap for Bernice is a little obvious, but it's a great set-up for the two Bernice Summerfield audios in question.
