Review of The Destination Wars by dema1020

11 June 2024

The Destination Wars is quite a bit of fun and something I would recommend. It's a good, clean story in how it executes a very early interaction between the Master and the Doctor. Ian and Barbara getting manipulated by the Master was quite a memorable moment. This was my first taste of this cast doing a Big Finish production, and they were pretty good overall, but I definitely didn't enjoy Jamie Glover as Ian as much as I do with Russels. Barbara and Susan don't sound all that great to me either and it can be distracting. David Bradley, however, is pretty spot on and it was delightful to hear him just being the First Doctor like this.

I don't care for Dreyfus' political views to say the least but he was entertaining as the Master here. All told, this audio is probably worth listening to for the novelty of it but it kind of piddles out story-wise after a while.
