I've heard excellent things about Season 2 of the Fourth Doctor Adventures - let's hope it's not as disappointing as other seasons. So far, so good with a witty and action-packed historical matching the themes of the Williams era.

The interviews behind this story shows how much care and love Tom Baker has for the show, trying to add those small lines that make the Fourth Doctor, such as "Put it on the table, Mable." However, I find it odd how Romana would allow him to be selfish and ungrateful to the kitchen staff, considering the point in their relationship that they've reached. I find it very amusing that the pair are stopping monsters together, yet have no idea that they're together. This allows for some great comedy as they both try to be the hero, even taking on companions, balancing the screentime out and giving the Season 16 TARDIS team some deserved love. It was very predictable, unfortunately, that Romana would be chosen by Reggie, but it was very humorous how she was oblivious to human flirting and is very fitting for her character to shoot him down as she holds herself and her species to a higher regard than humans. The tribute to Mary Tamm at the end was very sweet, and it's heartbreaking to hear how much the deaths of many of his companions in such a small time period has hurt him.

Julia McKenzie is yet another fantastic guest star to join the cast of this famous show, and she isn't wasted in this story, as the Aunt - Normally, I'd criticise a hammy and over-the-top performance, but in a story as silly and wacky as this one, it's welcome and just adds to the fun. The alien reminded me of the Jalnix from Foe From the Future, but its plan was a very strange one indeed - the androids were a little bog standard, but just acted as henchmen to the Aunt's plan. Also, was there a cheeky reference to Time and the Rani? "Leave the man, it's the girl I want." Hmm...

The historical setting of the Roaring 20s allows for, as writer Johnathan Morris says in the interview, a "satirical view of the aristocracy" perceiving them as aliens who have no concept of living in the working world. This is a great idea, and this story is clearly intended to poke fun and ridicule the upper class, especially as Reggie falls in love with Mabel and doesn't care for what his wealthy, rich friends say about that.

A witty and clever script with a strong message - aside from a few minor problems, it's a great listen.
