The period feel of this is beautifully realized. The music & sound design really captures the feel of the soundtrack of a mid sixties TV show. A cross between Danger-Man, The Saint and The Avengers. Big Finish have proved Monochrome really does have a sound. Excellent job. Story & acting are both very good. I hope the rest of the series at least continues this standard. I was looking forward to this when it was announced, I have not been disappointed.

The lost stories and companion chronicles always get a lot of talk about �capturing the period� which I find to be a trivial matter compared with the actual telling of the story. Counter Measures falls into the same basket in that there is a lot of talk about the black and white era. I have to say it was captured perfectly, but at a cost as there seemed to be less story telling which is a problem.
It was good to hear the old characters again, but very little time was spent reintroducing them. I guess the assumption was we�d watched remembrance last week (I watched it a month ago) and then I felt little effort was made to properly introduce the new characters. In the long run this won�t be an issue, but it made this story feel awkward.
In short I was never really sure what was happening, but I certainly knew when it was happening.

A lively opening to the box with a clear story with some great moments. The way our team is pulled together is sensible enough. The Nazi business is laboured and lazy but everything else around it is great. Pamela Salem is the star of this story, but both she and Gledhill get quite thrilling material to work with. This is a series I've been looking forward to, and whilst I've marked it at 6 of 10, I'm confident in what they're doing. A group of characters who have outgrown Doctor Who. Glad to hear it.
