Hey Guys,
welcome to the 19th adventure of the Big Finish Main Range ‘Minuet in Hell’. It is another story with Charley and the eighth Doctor. It is also a story were Lethbridge-Stewart plays a role. This is mostly a good indication for a good story. But someone on tumblr told me that this story is not one of the better once and that is not so wrong.

The story takes place in 2003 Malebolgia, USA. Malebolgia is the newest state of America. Lethbridge-Stewart is send there to investigate what is going on in this state. The Brig is already in retirement but still does sometimes a few jobs for them. Because he can’t just sit at home.

Bit from everything

We have three big story elements. One is like I already said Lethbridge-Stewart. He is investigating the facility that claims to heal mental illness. We all know that there of course has something behind it. I like this storyline. The Brig on his own is amazing and just his reactions at the answers of his bosses are fun.

Prostitute

Charley is the other big part of the story. She doesn’t know who she is or where she is. But she not just lost her memories, she also get captured and used as a prostitute. That is not totally right. Thanks god she didn’t good touched that way or before it comes to something like that, someone else is helping her out. Someone who seems to be a demon hunter.

At last

The last part is of course about the Doctor. The Doctor is in a similar situation as Charley. He forgot who he was and got captured and held in the place for the mental illness. With not knowing who he is, the escape seems more difficult like this.

Listing or not

The story is really not that great. But they have amazing characters and it is always fun to see the Doctor and the Brig interact with each other. So even when the story is not that great. It is a must listen for me, because the Brig and the eighth Doctor are lovely together.
