Robot Riot

Prerequisites: The Inheritance is needed, if only for context as to who Valarie is. This boxset is set after the events of Series 7A, so make sure you've seen that.

The House of Masks is another great entry in this boxset, giving us Valarie's first actual TARDIS trip. Dudman's 11 is as impressive as ever, and his chemistry with Ingar continues to shine. The basic plot itself is really nothing special, but the dialogue is truly what feels notable. There are a lot of actual fun quips that these two have, and I have to give props to Georgia Cook here. As others have said, the villain is actually a bit weak, but what really pulls this audio from good to great is the ending five minutes. Here, we get (to my knowledge) one of the only acknowledgments of the trauma caused by the Time War that Big Finish has produced, and it works really well. Dudman sells the self-loathing stupendously, and it caps this adventure off nicely.
