Big Finish Audio Drama of the Week - Week 1 - Planet of the Rani by: Marc Platt

The first Big Finish Audio Drama of the Week is "Planet of the Rani" by: Marc Platt.  Every week, an audio drama or audio drama box-set will be chosen as Audio Drama of the Week.

Synopsis - Miasimia Goria was a quiet planet, an ancient world of bucolic tranquillity… until the Rani arrived with ideas of her own.
She planned to create a race of new gods… gods that she could keep on her leash, but those plans went horribly wrong.
Now, she languishes in the high security of Teccaurora Penitentiary, consigned there by her arch enemy and old student colleague, the Doctor.
But the Rani, always resourceful, ever calculating, knows things about the Doctor’s past that he would rather forget. She wants revenge, even if it takes a hundred years… and then she has other unfinished business.
The ruins of Miasimia Goria await…


Reasoning - I chose this audio drama because I am a huge fan of the Siobhan Redmond incarnation of The Rani.  I like the dynamic between The Rani and the Doctor and the relationship between The Sixth Doctor and his companion Constance Clarke.  The story is gripping and I recommend this story to anyone that is a fan of the Sixth Doctor era and a fan of The Rani.
