Colin Baker as the 6th Doctor with Nicola Bryant as Peri
Well, one of the biggest news stories over the last year had to be the war in Iraq and the various prison scandals there. Whether consciously or unconsciously, this seems to have crept into a major percentage of the Big Finish output recently.
Now on to The Year of the Pig. There are some good concepts here, but they do not seem to have been polished enough to give this story cohesion. There were parts of this play that I enjoyed, and there were those that made me cringe. Overall, I would call this an average outing. This may be the first time in a while that the presence of Colin Baker alone wasn't enough to improve the script to a higher level, though this has been one of the weaker ones he has had to perform.
