The theme tune didn't bother me so much - it was a change that made the release feel different somehow, although the latest BBC Audio Dark Contract has done the same thing!
What irked me was the use of the TARDIS door sound effect for every door in the TARDIS! I hope that is rectified in the remix too.

I've never read the original novel, but this definitely makes me curious. These adaptations have all had stories that seem to show the best of the VNAs/VMAs and the respective Doctors. I've been hesitant to get Fifth Doctor releases because I was very lukewarm on his era in television. His main range entries have been hit or miss. But it's stories like this one that show how great he can be. I loved his confrontations with Yarvin and Ruath in this story. Also, both Nyssa and Tegan get excellent subplots. The one baffling thing was the subplot with the two vampires who end up in space. I feel like it was underdeveloped and felt tacked on. I presume it was more prominent in the novel. Overall though, another strong entry in the Novel Adaptations range. I hope Big Finish does more at some point.

Loved this. TARDIS team on fine form and every single aspect of the production firing on all cylinders, especially the soundtrack, which is just glorious. I thought it was a touch too long, but not sure a two hour running time would’ve been enough, so not a big deal.
Another wonderful entry to the novel adaptations range, which continues to be one of Big Finish’s best. More please!

I thought this was a great adaptation! Despite the adult and disturbing material warning, I felt this was still far tamer than the book ever was. I also enjoyed the minor tweaks made but I'm still mourning the Romana parts of the novel being cut </3

There is an interview with Paul Cornell and Liz Myles in RFS 974. It is a nice interview and you do hear the approach made to adapting the novel and what was left out and why. I didn't think there are any real spoilers in the interview. The interview starts at 48:42 in the episode. radiofreeskaro.com/2024/08/18/radio-free-skaro-974-phantom-of-the-goth-opera/I just finished listening to the third part of the story. It was well done and enjoyable. Some really nasty characters there that got me upset with their actions. Fans of this 5th Doctor team and especially Nyssa should enjoy it. velvetrevolv3r6 I recall that they do mention why they cut the Romana parts out

velvetrevolv3r6 I recall that they do mention why they cut the Romana parts out Specifically because of the extra actors they'd need and the fact it tied into Blood Heat, which would confuse fans only listening to the audio.
