This review contains spoilers!
The audio version is, slightly disappointingly, a word for word lift from comic strip to audio. With the comic being a hugely visual thing, it does mean there is quite a lot of descriptive narration which can be a little clunky, but the spirit of the piece is wonderful and everyone is clearly putting their all into it. The actors playing Oxirgi, Malika and Kyril are all great but at the centre of it all is, of course, the inimitable Brian Blessed as Omega.
He is marvellous and actually helps to bring Omega to the forefront of the whole story by making his appearances in Oxirgi’s mind at the beginning more striking than they were in comic strip form.
The sound design and music is excellent and there is a lovely touch at the end in the scene where the Gel Guard is forming where they have included the sound effect the Gel Guards make in The Three Doctors.
A short interview with Blessed at the end reveals how enthusiastic he was to take part in the project and how well he understands the character of Omega. And that really comes across in his characterisation.
