Doctor Who: Nightshade
by Mark Gatiss; adapted by Kyle C. Szikora (Big Finish, 2016)
Though Gatiss aims for substance, Szikora’s adaptation isn’t always smooth. The character moments in particular—Ace’s romance, the Doctor’s weariness, though welcome additions—are handled far too quickly, given no more prominence than the confused monster shriekings so favoured by Big Finish.
