Not sure why there has, so far, not been a thread about this, so I decided to create one.
I am just doing a re-listen to this wonderful story. It is a very interesting mix of farce, comedy and deep character drama. You might have to listen to it several times. I also think the leads, Nicola and Colin, are doing an amazing job with their performances.
I think it is very well done.
What do you think?
And I have another question- when the Doctor is making small-talk with the guards, he mentions "Hogmas". Like in discworld by Terry Pratchett. Together with the interchangeable "Guard1" and "Guard2" business, the humor and the setting, this reminds me of the discworld a lot. What do you think- is this discworld allusion intentional or accidental?

Yes definitely intentional I feel Regards mark687 |

Great story, great trilogy of Sixie and older Peri adventures. Were these stories ever followed up, I'm a completionist, I need to know how the Doctor and Peri finally left things?

This peri is still travelling with the doctor so far. The follow ups from Rani elite can be found in the sixth doctor and peri box set. |

I didn't realise that set was older Peri. That was released pre covid I believe, it must be tricky for Big Finish to revisit these ideas when there's been such a long gap. I thought they might just ignore the events of 8DA TW4 after a gap of 3 years, it seemed like bad place to introduce new listeners. Hope we hear more of Peri though, I read somewhere she's in a relationship with Nev Fountain so hopefully that keeps her well connected to new stories.  |

And he always writes the best stories for her! |
