Hot on the heels of Titan's Missy comic collection comes the third volume of Bug Finish's Missy audio adventures. As usual Michelle Gomez steals the show with her wonderful portrayal of yet another insane incarnation of The Master.
As with the other volumes in this series there are three CD's with three adventures. And Missy is not alone having picked up another renegade Time Lord in her travels as Rufus Hound portrays The Monk first seen way back in the sixties with Carry On star Peter Butterworth playing the role in The Time Meddler.
The first story Body and Souless starts off with a real bang. No beginning just the middle of Missy on the run with The Monk or at least his brain in her handbag. He's not very happy about this as you might understand. They find themselves in the middle of a war as a body-less race seeks new cadavers to inhabit. With almost farcical side-switching the two Time Lords work together and fight on behalf of both sides. Who will win?
In the second tale War Seed (which ties in to the Time War) Missy returns to Earth to collect a weapon that she created for for the Time Lords but finds humanity have been using regeneration technology in her absence. What is going on and who is crying for their father?
Finally in true Carry On tradition Missy, The Monk a servant girl disguised as a Duke a mysterious woman who is not what she seems and one of the Borgias come together in this door slamming farce, Two Monks and a Mistress that entertains from beginning to end.
