EDA106 - No More Lies

The penultimate story of the first season is one of those interesting tales that gets an "Aha!" moment somewhere in the third episode: a twist that would be a shame to ruin. The episode sets up a garden party where an aging couple are celebrating their anniversary. This is where the Doctor and Lucie arrive in pursuit of a fugitive.

Much like Immortal Beloved (EDA104), this episode offers some interesting moral questions. These are the episodes where Big Finish take full advantage of the limitations of the audio play form. Since there are no visuals to distract, stories with a lot of action are less effective. Running and shooting lasers and hiding quietly are not suitable for radio, so conversation and discussion often need to take center stage. By building scenarios around complex moral problems, these scripts can offer great discussions and arguments that (when well-written) end up being just as engaging as any chase.
