Companion Chronicles: Old Soldiers

Writer: James Swallow

Director: Nigel Fairs

Producer: Mark J. Thompson

Narrator: Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (Nicholas Courtney)

Series: 2.3

Summary: The Brig reminisces about a time when he and the Third Doctor investigated strange happenings involving a fracture in time that has unearthed Roman Soldiers.

Review: If I’m not mistaken, this might be the last story Nicholas Courtney did with Big Finish before his death. If it is, then it’s a great story to leave on. It has a poignant air to it, and Courtney is an excellent narrator. He even does a passable imitation of Pertwee. This is a great story to check out if you’re a fan of the Brigadier like me.

Overall: 9/10
