After the Colin Baker War Doctor story, I was in the mood for another adventure with him and Peri. I had probably read the “Missing Stories” Target novel of Mission to Magnus, but I hadn’t listened to this audio version. This was an interesting take on the Ice Warriors and I will always have a soft spot for Sil, having visited the set of Doctor Who during the filming of Vengeance on Varos. And unlike a lot of stories from the same period, the Doctor and Peri don’t spend the majority of the first episode talking/bitching in the TARDIS. On the other hand, it has a pretty casual attitude towards planetary devastation. And while most of the jokes land ok, the gender politics stuff would have been cringey in the 80s and feels even more awkward now. #thismakesmehappy #bigfinishproductions #doctorwho #bigfinishdoctorwho #bbcdoctorwho #doctorwho_bbca #doctorwhoaudios #audiobook #audiobooks #doctorwhotheloststories #doctorwholoststories #missiontomagnus #colinbaker #nicolabryant #philipmartin https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc8QOIDrASB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
