Doctor Who: Son of the Dragon by Steve Lyons
5.0
5/5
Exceptional! Historical Who is some of my favourite, and this one is perfection: a fun way to learn history, with all our characters interacting with different facets of that history, without the need to have time travel or alien threats to spice things up. This is also exemplary Big Finish, going beyond what the TV show could ever achieve by giving a surprisingly full portrait of Vlad the Impaler, and treating this period of history with all the gruesomeness and complexity that would be impossible on television.
