Já logo aviso para não esperar um enredo incrível, genial ou diferenciado de “The Flying Dutchman”, você estará diante de um fillerzão passa tempo bem leve envolvendo uma tripulação de piratas sendo ameaçadas por uma antiga lenda do mar – Meus destaques vão para as pitadas cômicas, a personagem “Archie/Ana” e a Ace (que está ótima nesse áudio) ela desce a porrada na tripulação e participa de uma luta de espadas bravamente KKKKKK | Here's a fun and relaxed filler, its story has a pirate theme rarely used in the series where the Doctor and his companions (Ace and Hex) have a seventeenth-century ship as their next destination. There, they encounter an inexperienced and superstitious captain who, despite this, has the total respect of his crew. I must warn you not to expect an incredible, brilliant, or unique plot like "The Flying Dutchman"; you will be faced with a very light, time-passing filler involving a pirate crew threatened by an old sea legend. My highlights are the comic touches, the character "Archie/Ana", and Ace (who is great in this audio) - she beats up the crew and bravely takes part in a sword fight LOL.

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: The Veiled Leopard For a story called The Flying Dutchman it's a bit disappointing that there's no real Flying Dutchman in this one. I just think so much more can be done with the concept than a bog-standard story revolving around a pirate mutiny with the big reveal that the titular Dutchman is just another ship painted glow-in-the-dark. It's honestly quite annoying actually, makes the whole thing feel like a waste of time. There were a few odd little good bits like Ace getting to sword fight but it's not great otherwise.
