Some Audio Favorites, Part Two

What it says on the tin. Part two of my favorite audios post.

The Spectre of Lanyon Moor

Sadly, the last three parts of this tale don't live up to the first, but the first part makes up for that. The atmosphere was intense--I could visualize everything, from the dewy path the Doctor and Evelyn walk down to the foggy moor at night to the fougou Evelyn and the Doctor explore with a flashlight. Plus, you get the bonus of the Brig thrown in!
I have to say, the cliffhanger of part one is, for me, the scariest moment of Big Finish that I've heard so far. That awful laugh is terrifying, and the fate of that poor girl and Evelyn's reaction kept my hand clamped to my mouth for at least five minutes.
The Curse of Davros

Philippa Jackson. Holy cow. You want to see Rose done well, go and listen to The Curse of Davros and explain to me what it is that makes this character so good. She's not that different from Rose--they're both working-class teenagers with lousy boyfriends--but for some reason, I really felt a connection with Flip, where I loathe Rose.
I already knew the massive...thing...about this audio that shall not be said here, but that only lessened my enjoyment of it slightly. I loved the sound design, and the music, and the use of present-day England and nineteenth-century France, and most of all Flip. Well done Johnny Morris, Colin Baker, and especially Terry Molloy. Now please bring back Lisa Greenwood!

The Mahogany Murderers

Ah, Professor George Litefoot....*sighs* I mean, what? Sorry!
I'll say it: Professor George Litefoot is an absolutely brilliant character, always one step ahead of everyone else and yet incredibly vulnerable and alone. I have completely fallen in love with him and Trevor Baxter's portrayal of him. Henry Gordon Jago is wonderful, obviously, but Professor Litefoot holds a special place in my heart (which he shares with the Sixth Doctor and Martin Freeman's John Watson).
I saved this audio for the longest time before finally listening to it all in one night...and I adored it. It was absolutely hilarious, and I instantly knew that Jago & Litefoot were made for each other. Call them what you will--a couple, bros, married--but I honestly believe they are soul mates. Don't look at me, go and listen to one of their audios. You'll spot it within the first three minutes or so.
This is the beginning (well, in Big Finish, at any rate) of their adventures together, and whether you like the story or not, you'll like them.
