A very strong start to the fourth 9DA box, this is a story about a future funeral parlor that provides a unique service to its rich patrons in offering a simulacrum of their departed loved ones for a limited time on the day; essentially, the dead can attend their own wake. The Doctor comes to visit at the behest of the deceased, a noted galactic animal conservationist who knew he was dying from a fatal disease and had many corporate enemies. Only, his simulacrum doesn’t remember The Doctor, or his former assistant Sasha Yan, and then the robotic Attendants start electrocuting people. It’s a pretty great standalone low-stakes adventure very much in the style of S1, and it succeeds at it! Good sound design and pretty decent music. Some minor nitpicks, it probably doesn’t need to be a full hour, a bit of trimming might have helped the pace, and Juliet Stevenson is perhaps chewing just a little bit too much of the audio scenery, but I thought this was a fun and engaging bit of Ninth Doctor audio drama, nicely written by David K Barnes. 4/5
