DOCTOR WHO: SINGULARITY

Big Finish proves that their Doctor Who audio originals can be as imaginative and captivating as the BBC's own in this trek to a Russia of the near future. Peter Davison, of the TV series, plays the fifth Doctor, who encounters the Somnus Foundation, a group with murky motives that involve group hypnosis and mind control. Not surprisingly, the Doctor's antics bring the conspiracy to a head, and the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Deftly written and well acted, the production is a solid adventure all around and deserves a place in the Doctor's canon. The classic theme music is here, along with rich sounds effects of a Russia we should hope will never be. F.G. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2010]
