“Welcome to Max Warp! Broadcasting live from the Sirius Inter-G Cruiser Show. Hosted by outspoken columnist and media personality Geoffrey Vantage, with spaceship-guru-extraordinaire O’Reilley and daredevil pilot Timbo ‘the Ferret’.”
When a test flight of the new Kith Sunstorm ends in disaster, the Sirius Exhibition Station is plunged into a web of murder and intrigue. Someone – or something – is trying to re-ignite a war between the Varlon Empire and the Kith Oligarchy.
As the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, only two investigators, the Doctor and Lucie, can hope to uncover the truth.
So strap yourself in, engage thrust, and prepare for... Max Warp!
The Doctor and Lucie land on a planet where all the boys are showing off their toys. No it isn’t cars or Doctor Who toys – they are the latest high-speed spaceships! Hence the Top Gear spoof! ‘Max Warp’ is a television programme, much like Top Gear but with spaceships. But when test driver ‘Timbo the ferret’ has an accident and goes missing, an alien race is blamed. Can The Doctor and Max Warp’s newest presenter – Lucie, solve the mystery.
Its yet another well-done audio from the guys over at Big Finish. They do the spoof of Top Gear excellently and I’m sure fans of that programme will like this as well! After a solid opening episode, this takes off and is possibly one of the best 8th Doctor audios. I really don’t have much to criticise, although they could have utilised the excellent guest stars (James Fleet, Duncan James and Graeme Garden) a lot more.
Excellent episode and definitely worth a listen if you’re an 8th Doctor fan!
9/10
