Doctor Who Unbound : Sympathy for the Devil (2)
Now where do I start with this. I've got too many things to say but at the same time I don't feel like there's anything to add to such a piece. It's definitely one of my favourite works from Big Finish that I've listened to. Pure quality.
First of all the acting is on point. It is fairly due to the five stars casting supporting this, but it is worth mentioning. David Warner, Nicholas Courtney, David Tennant and "Sam Kisgart" all make a hell of a quatuor that rocks the dynamics between every character.
The story in itself is definitely inspired by the Third Doctor era and does really well with it. The version of the future that is told to us in this is really grim and it works perfectly. Lethbridge-Stewart's character evolution is pretty well thought through and it is also what permits him to take the decision he takes right at the end of this. The mischievous plan of the bad guy and the way all elements come together at some point is brilliant. It definitely keeps you hooked up all the way through.
The realisation, the sound effects, the music, the overall atmosphere all work really great, especially in the last part when the Ke Le Divisions are set free of their mind control. Truly chilling.
All I have to say now is I had an amazing time listening to this and you should do it as well!
