10. The Spectre Of Lanyon Moor
SUMMARY: The Doctor and Evelyn arrive in Cornwall, near an ancient fogou - an Iron Age stone structure. They quickly learn that the site is being investigated, not only by archaeologists, but by an undercover Brigadier as well! It seems the fogou has a reputation for sending people mad, but why? Is it the imps of legend, or aliens? The Doctor intends to find out...
WHY LISTEN? This is the first Big Finish audio to feature the Brigadier, and as usual he has great chemistry with the Doctor, here played by Colin Baker. There's also the lovely Doctor Evelyn Smythe, played by the late Maggie Stables, who makes a fantastic companion for the Sixth Doctor, with her calm demeanour and knowledge of history.
Besides the imps and the fogou, there's a manor with a laboratory too - and what can we say, we're a sucker for a good laboratory! The sound design must also be given credit, as you really do feel like you're out on the moors, walking through the bracken with the Doctor and Evelyn.
