Monsters In Metropolis

I remember first hearing about a story with cybermen on the set of Metropolis and thinking ‘oh god.’ I knew it was either going to be a tired retread of the celebrity historical formula like these things often are or, hopefully, a thoughtful and thoroughly researched use of a setting that has massive potential for a Doctor Who story. I was admittedly quite nervous because the franchise does not always use these historical settings to their full potential *cough* Devil’s Chord *cough*. What I heard instead was a beautifully made and original observation on the Cybermen which clearly comes from someone with deep respect and affection for the source materials on which it was based. John Dorney once again proves himself to be a very brilliant addition to Big Finish’s writers. My only downside is it is not on television, because it would be absolute stunning. 10/10.
