Customer Reviews

if the king not like the comedy....
Then he'd probably be alone, because this is a fantastic piece of work. The doctor and companions are forced by desire and circumstance to try and find who killed the princes in the tower. The story that ensues is a wonderful bit of writing, funny at points and a pretty serious discussion of moral issues at others.

Performed to perfection by the guest cast, in particular stephen beckett as richard the third who being a northerner can't help but remind you of a certain other doctor, and arthur smith as the smelliest barman in olde england.

This has excellent cliffhangers, several stunning twists, and a few moments that long term fans will absolutely love. Highly recommended

Of cabbages and kings
Another great historical adventure from Big Finish; this is what they do best. Fun, informative (well a bit!) and doesn't take itself too seriously; Davison's Fifth Doctor is in his element and he and Egyptian companion Erimem make a great team - now if only they'd ditch Peri ;-)

Who killed the princes?
The 5th Doctor and companions Peri and Erimem set out to discover whether Richard III really killed the princes in the tower, and the results are certainly surprising! While mostly played as a comedy `The Kingmaker' still succeeds as a brilliantly plotted Doctor Who story, with enough twists and turns to keep the listener on their toes, some very cheeky near appearances from the 4th and 9th Doctors, and some post-modern fun with such familiar items to long term Who fans as the `Doctor Who Discovers...' book series and the infamous Doctor Who Cookbook! Funny, well-plotted and brilliantly performed by both the regulars and guest cast, `The Kingmaker' provides far more challenging and enjoyable fare than the majority of the new TV series, and is heartily recommended for all but the most po-faced fan.
