The Doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adric arrive on a planet divided by a not so happy couple.
The couple are The Duke and Duchess, who only a year into marriage are now at loggerheads. So much so that the Duke has hired an assassin. When the TARDIS team find themselves on either side of a dividing line, each pair, therefore on a ‘different’ side. They both opt for the same survival method: they are the assassins come to kill the other’s spouse.
It is a bit of a challenge to suspend the disbelief, just happing to have the same idea as each other. And a somewhat outlandish one at that. It does lean more towards comedy than a serious drama, as long as you’re onboard with that then there’s fun to be had.
Things change half way through when the real assassin turns up, from there it become the usual runabout. Patsy Kensit features in this - a bit of a blast from the past - for me, a name I've not heard or seen for quite a while.
It takes a more dramatic turn at the end, assassins kill, and the Doctor has a choice to make.
Its an enjoyable audio, standard. Has its moments, not something that’s going to stick out. But worth a listen.
