Doctor Who - Devil In The Mist
Just finished listening to "Doctor Who #247 - Devil In The Mist" released by Big Finish Productions.
Kamelion was one of the most intriguing and underused companions of the classic Doctor Who television series during the Peter Davidson's era, a.k.a. the Fifth Doctor. Kamelion was a shape-shifting android who originally appeared in the episodes "The King's Daemons" where he was under the influence of The Master. He only appeared in one other episode with the Fifth Doctor. because as a companion, he was just too expensive to use and CGI technology wasn't as advanced as it is today.
Sadly, the original actor who gave voice to Kamelion has passed away, to the torch was passed by Big Finish Productions to Jon Culshaw to take on the role. I'm not really a fan of recasting the original actors for the Doctor Who audios produced by Big Finish Productions. There is something to be sad for not being too greedy.
"Devil In The Mist" takes place immediately after "The King's Daemons." While Turlough is willing to accept Kamelion as a new traveling companion, Tegan has her doubts - even though she's forgiven and moved on from the fact the Turlough freed himself from the influence of the Black Guardian. She doesn't trust Kamelion and finds him creepy. And being a telepathic shape-shifter, Kamelion can link directly to the TARDIS - something not even the Doctor is entirely comfortable with because of the information the android can access.
So when the TARDIS materializes in a crippled prison ship, the Fifth Doctor and his companions, they are greeted with suspicion by the crew because they are viewed hostile because the prison ship is carrying Nustanu, the last warlord of the Zamglitti. A collision causes the ship to crash into a nearby planet, and the Doctor and his companions injured and fight for survival on a world whose wildlife has suddenly turned against them.
A classic adventure of the Fifth Doctor and his companions.
Highly Recommended!
Ten Stars!
