Review of The Dreams of Avarice by PexLives
6 July 2024
A very fun adventure. I think Guy Adam’s leans in a little to the more Douglas Adams-y side of the 4th Doctor. The two additions to the cast are fun and play off Tom Baker and John Heffernan well to allow both of the leads to shine. I do have to hand it to Guy, he does a really good job making the 9 feel like a completely different incarnation than the 11, similarly to how he handled the 12. I honestly think this character is at their best when written by Guy Adams as opposed to John Dorney and especially Matt Fitton. The 9 especially is the perfect incarnation to play off Tom, since they’re both doing a comedy routine essentially. This is almost two hours but flew by.
