It’s simply because more effort has been put into the script, it’s a more carefully written play. The absence of The Doctor does lend a little peril to proceedings, as does the mystery of who is behind the nefarious plot. You can tell it was written by David Whittaker, it has the rare quality of being a Big Finish story which you could actually imagine a classic Doctor Who story on TV. I’m slightly jealous of anyone who got to see it in person.
