Jago And Litefoot: The Theatre Of Dreams. Series Two, Big Finish Audio Play.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Cast: Christopher Benjamin, Trevor Baxter, Lisa Bowerman, Duncan Wisbey, Conrad Asquith, Jennie Stoller, Alex Mallinson.

It seems that the theatre can be bad for the health; especially when it involves the Theatre De Fantasie and Henry Gordon Jago’s desire and yearning to be back on top of the impresario game.

Series Two of Jago and Litefoot’s enquiries into the world of the infernal and nefarious leads neatly to the stage where a slight supposed diversion, a chance for the action to become diverting enough before the final curtain comes down with an enjoyable story by Jonathan Morris which tests the wits and friendship of the two investigators in The Theatre Of Dreams.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Christopher Benjamin, Trevor Baxter, Lisa Bowerman, Vernon Dobtchef, David Collings, Alex Mallinson.

One of the most powerful images of pre-20th Century medical advancement is that of the body-snatcher, the ghoulish purveyors of the recently deceased and comfortable in their new home six feet underground to the medical profession, especially those of impoverished students for research purposes has never been looked at favourably or with rose tinted eyes. What it has done though has given cinema and audio drama the great lease of life in which to scare audience’s silly.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Christopher Benjamin, Trevor Baxter, David Collings, Conrad Asquith, Chloe Howman, Lisa Bowerman, Alex Mallinson.

Jago and Litefoot are as inseparable as fish and chips, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding…the Doctor and his companion…As Series Two starts with the eminent professor forming a new working relationship with his equal Gabriel Sanders, it seems that the dynamic duo, the investigators of all incidents infernal have gone their separate ways and the cold reality of their friendship hits Henry Gordon Jago hard.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Tom Baker, Mary Tamm, David Warner, Hayley Atwell, Jane Slavin, Toby Hadoke, Hugh Fraser, Nicholas Biggs, John Dorney, Beth Chalmers.

With The Lann about to destroy Earth as billions of the species mistake the planet as their own personal birthing pool, the second part of the two part story by Nicholas Briggs takes on one of those great sidesteps and gives fans something else to chew over and digest. Rather than the thought of interplanetary war between two species, the subtext offers something different, something not implemented in the Doctor Who world for a long while.
