Early BF tends to be clunky and this is no exception. While this might work well in a book and possibly even on TV or film, in an audio story, it's not very effective. I do applaud it for bringing Bernice Summerfield into the Big Finish world but that's pretty much it. McCoy himself is actually absent or takes a back seat for considerable spells of the story but when he is there he's only passable. Everyone else talks and acts like fictional characters from the 90s and not like real people. The Scourge are a typical villain of the week that's hyped up as extremely powerful but in the end up being toothless because of plot armor.
