This was an interesting one. I really like the idea of Company of Friends and it seems like a great way to showcase some literary characters.

It's a bit of a shame then, that Fitz comes off pretty off-putting here. It leaves me curious if he's like this in the books or if there's more to him there, but not overly excited for it, either. Here, Fitz, though performed fine, comes across as a bit of a standard, roguish archetype. I'm not against that in a companion, but it would have been nice to have been given a reasoning as to why the Doctor would want to travel with someone like him.

What I adore about this audio is the special effects. The fake ads and funny little TV stuff they do in this short audio adventure makes it largely worth listening to on its own. I really enjoyed that aspect of it and the story itself worked given the relative small scale of the story.
