Will it be good? Maybe. While BBV is run by somebody who I can only describe as a cheap Man (to put it kindly), it did have some skilled People early on board. Some of their early stuff surprises me and is quite enjoyable, others.. well let's say they have their Reason to be low. This is sadly one that's very weird.. and not the good weird. The Story feels very out of character for Pip & Jane Baker's usual writing, while it's nice they got to write another Rani Story, it feels very much like a Product of the Wilderness Years, and not a good one! I will say it was nice hearing O Mara back as the Rani, she is a true Scene stealer, even if the entire Voice Direction was probably lacking or the VAs they got here for all the others were just not very good fits. 2 Stars mainly for O Mara and that's probably putting it generous.

The price we pay to hear Kate O'Mara as the Rani... greenLetterT View profile Like Liked 1 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
