This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Grey Man of the Mountain

Really boring story which is a shame considering it has Geoffrey Beevers' Master in it. It's not all that surprising though considering it was written by Mike Tucker who did The Genocide Machine, another frightfullly dull and formulaic adventure. The only thing keeping this one anywhere above that one is the aforementioned Geoffrey Beevers. And the lack of Daleks, that helps too.

Speaking of Beevers, it doesn't really feel like he's settled back into the role yet. He's still good but with the hindsight of his later performances this one does stand out a bit (alteast in my eyes). Although in fairness he only did it one time what would have been twenty-something years ago by this point.

Nothing remarkable here sadly, but it could have been a lot worse.

Next Story: Colditz

Eis aqui uma história muito promissora que na grande parte do tempo apresenta uma excelente narrativa unida a uma ótima atmosfera com conceitos bem interessantes e assustadores, como por exemplo quando nos deparamos com um cadáver cujo sangue foi substituído por poeira. No entanto, embora a qualidade geral e o nível de interesse do ouvinte permaneça razoavelmente consistente, quando o áudio chega ao seu ponto ápice (chega no momento do é agora é que vamos vê), ele acaba se tornando um pouco desanimador finalizando a problemática de uma forma meio tímida - "Damian" de um vilão muito interessante se torna um personagem um pouco ridículo e um pouco Cringe, além dele temos um velho conhecido vilão do Doutor (não vou soltar spoiler) que sofre desse mesmo diagnóstico não correspondendo as expectativas criadas quando chegado o ponto ápice, o pior é que ele nos proporciona os melhores momentos de Dust Breeding. Ah...e Caroline John está no elenco (não como Liz Shaw), infelizmente nem parece, seu papel não é nada notável.
Em suma, é uma história bem comum que infelizmente decepciona um pouco com sua conclusão, mas não chega a ser ruim, está longe de ser algo descartável.

E esse lance de que o Doutor usa a viagem no tempo para roubar pinturas famosas de museus que sofreram incêndios?? Wtf!

This was a good story with an interesting cast, though I can't say much without spoilers

Hmmm I must admit I have sometimes a hard time to remember a lot of some Big Finish play, but if I recall correctly I did really enjoy this one and it’s overall on the better side of the early Big Finish Plays. It’s lovely hearing Caroline (who played Liz) in this Audio, even through she plays somebody else and as always 7 and Ace just work! The Setting is delightful and hearing Beevers reprising his Role as the Master is wonderful, not his best Work on Audio and certainly not the best from the first 50 but as his first time on BF Audios he does a pretty good job and is a lot more comfortable in this medium than McCoy was in his first Outing.

That’s all positive, but I must admit I barely can recall much of the Story itself, which is not a good sign already, I really need to relisten to it to give it a fair and proper judgment since it seems like only the few positives stuck with me.

I feel like the first appearance of the Master is given a lot of weight in Dust Breeding, and there's a side of it I quite enjoyed when this famous villain goes up against the Doctor in a psychic duel here, but outside of the big climactic moment, the rest of the audio left me strangely uninterested.  While initially intriguing with the use of the real-life missing Scream painting, when we get to the Warp Core stuff, it quickly descended into what felt like a standard and pretty boring sci-fi affair.  If it weren't for the Master's presence, this would be a totally forgettable and kind of worthless Doctor Who story.  The Master does add something.  The Seventh Doctor gets to interact with him in a way he didn't quite get to in Survival.  Otherwise I didn't have that great of a time overall.
