Featurind 4th Doctor Romanna, Adric , K9 (maybe)
Adric wants to help the Doctor. The Doctor doesn’t want Adric’s help. Banished to updating the TARDIS logbook, Adric has to record the tale of the Hermes, a doomed freighter they found in E-Space. With Romana gone, and only the past as a guide, Adric needs to work out how to make this new dynamic work before it’s too late for both him and the Doctor.
Regards

Stunning. A beautiful meditation on how we live on after we die, the meaning of words to different people, and a great insight into the early days of Adric's time with the Doctor. I really hope this is only Rochana Patel's first story for Big Finish and that there are more to come.

This took 15 minutes or so to click with me, but once it did I absolutely loved it and saw the bigger picture. There’s some beautiful prose and it’s wonderfully read by Matthew Waterhouse. I didn’t realise just how fond Adric was of the Fourth Doctor and how much he idolised him until this and Watchers. I’d really like a box set from the pair to develop that at some point.

Have you heard The Ingenious Gentleman Adric of Alzarius? That's a good exploration of that relationship as well, despite being a Fifth Doctor story! |

Thank you! |

A lovely story of how the Doctor bends time and space to deliver letters.
I do like how Big Finish have recontextualised Four and Adric’s relationship and this continues the trend nicely.

A poignant, moving story about Adric & the Fourth Doctor & Romana. Wonderful writing, characterization, & relationships. Superb narration by Matthew Waterhouse. For those who don’t like Adric, this might change your mind. Also an enjoyable listen for fans of 4 & Romana 2. I liked it very much. 5/5
