I loved this! Also I was kinda already in love with Fitz's character before I listened to this, though I haven't read the EDA books yet. I absolutely loved this as my sort-of 'introduction' to his character. I wish Big Finish would have made more audios with Fitz as Eight's companion but I get it.. Fitz is basically Eight's main 'ride or die' companion in the books (or so I've heard), so he already has a lot of material but still... there's potential with his character on audio too! :D

The story itself was fun and I really enjoyed this from start to finish. I just wished it could have been longer because I just crave more. *sigh* Time to buy all of the books.

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.
