Hey Guys,

welcome to the 116th Big Finish Main Range Adventure ‘The Raincloud Man’ with Charley and the sixth Doctor. We also have a special guest and that would be DI Menzies. The story takes place after ‘The Condemned’ in 2008. It seems to be december because all the people are doing their Christmas shopping. So obviously we find ourself in Manchester again and the second part of the story takes place in Rio de Janeiro.

Switch places

DI Menzies built herself a amazing new reputation and also a network of informants. It is really lovely to see how she dealt with everything. This time when they met it is not the Doctor that is believed to be a murderer but Charley. One of Menzies informants – Kelsa -knew of her special situation with the Doctor and than when Menzies left them alone he ends up dead. Kelsa is an interesting character and I loved him the whole 5 minutes he is part of the story. I really would love to met him again sometime in his past.

Time Travelers

The Doctor is following a coin from the future to find the time traveler behind it. Of course it leads to something much bigger than this mystery time traveler. We got a dubious casino and different aliens who are all searching for someone. For who are they searching and are they all searching the same person? We follow mostly three different storylines of the story. Obviously the one from the Doctor and the one of Charley but also got DI Menzies and her story.

The new companion?

What I love about ‘The Raincloud Man’ is that we got a lot of DI Menzies action. She trusts the Doctor but doesn’t believe everything he tells her. She is searching for her own answer and I am sure that she would make a great companion material. Maybe someday we will see this. The three different storylines – it’s not the perfect word for it – make the story so good an interessting.
