Now in his fourth incarnation, defrocked Time Lord The Minister Of Chance finds himself saddled with 'Kitty', an 'assistant' he apparently cannot get rid of - and perilously entangled in the court intrigues and military politics of a forest planet on the brink of war. Jenny Agutter, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann and Paul Darrow join Julian Wadham (The Iron Lady) and Lauren Crace (EastEnders) in a mould-breaking audio adventure that will take you to a spectacular world where science is heresy and magic is law...




The first two audio adventures are free on itunes, and you can send money in to contribute for making the third - and there are some enticements for large enough contributions <g> From special copies to getting your name on the credits, to autographs, and for getting to name a character, and more

and yes, it's in the Doctor Who universe

Are these any good? I've been busy with a backlog of Big Finish audios -- and not for nothing, but the Tom Baker "Lost Stories" are fantastic -- so haven't had much of an inclination to try these yet.

So far so good - I was annoyed with "Lucy" in those Paul Doctor Who eps (tho the stories were great enough to make her thickness of no matter), but tho the character is very similar in Minister of Chance, I think the chemistry of the strident and stubborn barmaid/apprentice of science, in a world where science is forbidden, following an adventuring eccentric scientist from another world or universe around, really works.

Over all, it seems a bit like a 17th century spy story with some science fiction of a familiar nature thrown in. (Paul is the cool headed adventurer that is constantly one step ahead in the cat and mouse games being played)

I've only listened to the 2 eps and seen the vid, no time to follow up on the site much, but I am intrigued and looking forward to the next ep.

On the other hand ... I haven't had time for a Tom Baker Lost Episode yet! I only got part way thru one adventure.
