Review of The Vanishing Point by Seagullslost
29 October 2024
The adventure continues... Well the slog, dudgery, whole lot of nothing.
Its the second time of listening to this release, the first time I thought it was just me not getting into it, but after 4 episodes at this point I'm almost giving up.
So there's a place called the vanishing point, and with our heroes reunited - Jamie, the Doctor and Zoe thats where they go. The missions that the Doctor has been sent on since the Final Beginning, seems to have been somewhat random and against the laws of time, so who exactly has been orchestrating the events and why?
As you can tell I've not been a fan of this set, and I have tried. As mentioned, this is the second chance I've given it and its not improved. It feels like it has the right ingredients, - Micheal Troughton doing a pretty good 2nd Doctor, Jamie and Zoe both back. Raven an interesting foil, intrigue in what and why the missions the Doctor has been sent on are achieving, the vanishing point a strange place. But as with the previous 4 episodes its painfully slow at telling an engaging story.
I did like the cliffhanger and look forward to the next set , but I wish Big finish would re edited this and create a more excitng audio.
