Sherlock Holmes reread: The Cardboard Box

Onto the next in my reread, and a story that has rather a complicated publication history, which means I could read it in a couple of different places in the reading order. But have opted for it now. Mainly to get it out of the way! It is not one of my favourites.

Bernice Summerfield: The Heart's Desire

Oh this was woefully bad!

On plus a game world run by the Eternals (as in Doctor Who's "Enlightenment" TV story) messing with reality should be a lot of fun. On downside the performances are appalling (Lisa Bowerman excepted), the dialogue phenomenally slow (I could play it at double speed not missing anything important), terrible scenes going on far too long, and all boiling down to something that barely merited 15 minutes of listening, not 57.

On plus hearing Benny express her exasperation about the Eternals and their use of Enlightenment felt totally on point. She was sharing much exasperation with this listener at least. But the rest was just awful.

Glad it's over. By far the worst Benny audio I've ever heard.
