the dull flame
Review date: 2006-06-29 Rating: 2 out of 10

an audio adventure for the seventh Doctor who. this one is a little different from the usual range as it is part of the new adventures continuity, a series of doctor who novels that ran from 1991-1997, and thus it contains his two companions from the period of the range when it is set, bernice 'benny' summerfield and ace.

it runs for four twenty five minute episodes, spread over two discs, and involves the doctor and his friends investigating an archaeological dig where a strange skull has been found. this is an artefact that a nasty religious cult called the dark flame are after, and danger results...

This is not one of the strongest of the range, as quite frankly the story is dull and uninspired. The supporting cast don't help, as one of the main guest actors adopts a strange accent that rather irks, and benny has so many of her customary witticims that she starts to get on your nerves.

A weak audio, and not worth getting.
