DW: Live 34

Hey Guys,
welcome to the 74th adventure of the Big Finish Main Range – Live 34. My sources put the story around 2400 since they say that earth was abaondend centuries ago. From the setting it fits with the setting of ‘The happiness Patrol‘. The seventh Doctor, Hex and Ace are on the colony 34.

Live on 34

The story is easy. On colony 34 the situation is restless. The premier wants to stay in power. But a group of people think that it is time to finally have the election they wait for 4 years. People are unsatisfied. There are a lot of problems when you listen to them and none problem at all when you believe the premier. It is not easy to see the truth or is it.

Something different

What Big Finish does here is one reason I love them so much. It is a good story. But this time it doesn’t get presented the way we used to. The whole story is told in news and media broadcast. Which means we don’t see what the Doctor and his friends are doing. Don’t know what they know and what they want. We only get what the normal population knows, statements and reports. Maybe we gets part of the truth or maybe it is just manipulated?

How free is the media really and who much can you depend on the information. It is so easy to put a situation in different light. When you know what Ace know, you maybe would say that she is right. But when you just here about bombs exploding it just pains another picture.

Totally in love

I really love the story. The Doctor appears in all four episodes but is role is not so big. Ace appears in the second episode and Hex in the third. I like the way they tell the story and the story itself. Thematic is great and it is the perfect way to show this thematic. They show us how easy it is to change the situation without changing the facts.
