Earth, England, London Synopsis They call him the Pugilist. It is the dawn of a new century and a vigilante is on the loose. The scourge of the criminal underclass. The saviour of the virtuous and the protector of the weak. The police are baffled, the public enamoured... but Professor George Litefoot and Henry Gordon Jago are on the case. Or at least they will be when they've finished their beer. What is the source of the Pugilist's spectacular supernatural powers? Is he alone in his noble quest? And what is his connection to the spate of corpses discovered around London? As they descend further into a nefarious netherworld, the infernal investigators may be out of their depth. They're going to need help if they're to get out of this alive. The help of an old friend and his new assistant. The help... of the Doctor and Romana.

A cidade está sendo atormentada por uma série de assassinatos sob o pretexto de um estranho misterioso vigilante que busca justiça, ele se autodenomina com "O Pugilista". John Dorney abordar muito bem seu conceito de um justiceiro super-herói urbano apoiando em um malabarismo tonal entre a comédia e leve matanças trazendo um ar sombrio bem sutil a história. É um áudio bem divertido de se ouvir, cheio de ação com muitos diálogos engenhosos, a dinâmica entre os personagens (ainda mais com o acrescento de Jago & Litefoot) é de uma fluidez incrível, Mary Tamm rouba a cena com seus momentos engraçados entregando um humor formal inteligente bem hilário. A conclusão é bem agitada (no bom sentido) finalizando de forma bem triste - Em resumo, sem sombra de dúvidas "The Justice Of Jalxar" está entre os melhores da linha Fourth Doctor Adventures, dito por muitos o melhor da 2° Temporada.

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: War Against the Laan The return of Jago and Litefoot, two side characters so good that they got their own spinoff. That was a joy to listen to, a fun little romp and easily my favourite story in this series. I enjoyed the plot, the vigilante character was basically Batman and the robot serving justice was quite funny. Tom Baker and Mary Tamm have excellent chemistry on audio, it's such a shame she only got one series with him. Christopher Benjamin and Trevor Baxter's double act of Jago and Litefoot is easily the highlight of this story. The plot isn't anything distinctly special, but it's not meant to be. Above all it's meant to be a fun reunion between the Fourth Doctor and Jago & Litefoot, and in that regard, it's absolutely brilliant.
