The Land of the Dead - 5.5/10

This story gives an adventure that for me was my first experience of big finish being that little bit more brutal that Doctor Who would ever be.

I enjoyed this stories concepts a lot more than the actual story I think, and the main concept that intrigued me was definitely the Permians. The idea of these creatures being around before the dinosaurs is a very fun thought - and then on top of that the fact that they are bone creatures is fascinating to me, the audio does a great job of giving these creatures presence.

As much as its a tiny part of this story I always adore when these stories fit nicely into the continuity.

The actual plot itself works for the run time but is ultimately quite forgettable overall, i'm also not the biggest fan of the dynamic that happens between the natives and the 'White man'.

The characters were all fine but Monica is a character I genuinely really enjoyed, I think she was probably the fill in for Tegan but  she carved her own personality out by the end of the story.

Overall The Land of the Dead gets a 5.5/10 because like I say I do enjoy some of the concepts here but the story falls a bit flat by the end of it in my opinion.
