Probably the most successful attempt in season one to approximate the TV series on audio - an unqualified hit.

Very good indeed. Bonus point for the wonderful David Collings

I didn't enjoy this very much and found it a hard slog to get through. Despite the brilliance of David Collings as Silver, and the overall impressive nature of the three leads (leads, not Leads .... if you know what I mean), this just seemed like not a great deal was happening, although I liked the fact that Steel appeared to succumb to illness, which placed him in an untypically vulnerable state.
The use of the reversal of Bedlam as a villainous force, Maldeb, isn't quite the sophistication this range is used to. Not really bad by any means, but the weaskest entry (by some way) in the series so far. |
