oh my goodness!
Coming down to earth again, the range gives us a new companion for the seventh doctor in the shape of thomas hector schofield - hex to his friends - young liverpudlian staff nurse at a london hospital where there are strange goings on. Hex gets involved after a strange death in casualty, and a young lady from personnel is also rather interested....

Benefiting from the almost contemporary setting and seeing most of the story through hex's eyes, the doctor is slowly introduced. This leads to a great cliffhanger at the end of part one. More thrills follow as the situation is investigated. The end of part two may be obvious to many but it's still a great cliffhanger, and there are a few more twists to come, as these foes are cleverer than you might think.

The fact that things are resolved far too easily in part four is a let down, but that's a minor blemish on a great story that gives us a great and very well acted new companion. Be advised that his catch phrase, irritating as it may be now, is something he will grow out of in time

An enjoyable audio play
I have about 15 of these Doctor Who audo adventures and most are extremely enjoyable and well written. The harvest is, so far one of my favourites. This story features the seventh doctor, Sylvester McCoy and his companion Ace and it also introduces a new character Hex. It is set in the quite near future and it follows the doctor and his companions investigating a London hospital where strange occurences are happening. This play also features one of the classic enemies, but I wont spoil it and tell you who. This play is also the third part of a loose trilogy but seeing as this was written before the other two The Reaping and the Gathering then you can easily listen to this without listening to the other two. As I have said I really enjoyed this but I have not given it five stars because it suffers from what most of these new audio adventures suffer from, a slow first episode. However,the rest of the other three episodes really pick up. All in all it is a good play and it runs for 110 mins and is well worth a look.

Good, but not great
This is a very good Big Finish audio. It introduces a new companion to the show: Hex. This is what it needs, a fresh face. This audio could have been better though. Episode one was very slow, slightly unnecessary. The other three episodes are the usual excellant sort, thought. Another good thing abput this serial is that it includes one of the greatest enemies of Doctor Who: The Cybermen.
Trust me, by no means is this a bad audio... it's good. But with a bit more work, it could have been great. Once again: It is a good audio that I do not regret buying!
