The Shadows of Death

Although it was slow in the beginning, Simon Guerrier's wonderful writing and Frazer Hine's perfect Patrick Troughton voice soon won me over for Shadow of Death. The title seems rather generic, until you get about halfway into the story and realize how perfectly fitted to the story it is.
I loved the idea of the different rates of time in this audio. It was so inventive and rather creepy. I also adored the use of the Eleventh Doctor and the Psychic Paper, and Two's line--"'I know what I'm doing'? But that's what I always say when I don't know what I'm doing." just chilled me. The same with the realization of how long Two had spent on the base. It made me rather sad, really.
One wonders why, if Big Finish is so famous for rescuing companions, they always use the companions that are best known on the show? I feel like Zoe and Jamie are always together--can't we have more Victoria, or just Jamie and the Doctor?
I can't complain, really, since Big Finish is the source of much of my happiness. All in all, this was an enjoyable and slightly creepy hour-long play.
