The Wormery had previously been recommended to me. It is indeed great; I'm not a big fan of Katy Manning or of her Iris Wildthyme character, but with Colin Baker's Doctor they work well, and I love the framing device of Jane McFarlane's dulcet Scottish lilt as Mickey - why isn't she doing more acting? - and the sting at the end as we find out who her listener is. The device of the bar between the worlds - isn't that Callahan's from Spider Robinson? (not that I've read any.) However this version seems a bit darker. ( )
