After a mediocre story and then a great one, The Diary of River Song delivers a masterpiece, which is perfect throughout, from the fantastic leading duo to the soundscape and the plot. Signs is a sign - Big Finish know what they're doing and they're doing it fantastically!
There is not much that can be said about Signs without spoiling it, as it a story interwoven by mystery. If there is a way I can describe it, it is a mix between Heaven Sent and Hide (to an extent), but despite this manages to find an identity of its own.
Alex Kingston and Samuel West have excellent chemistry, performing what is essentially a two-hander. The dialogue is fantastic and there are some profoundly beautiful and poetic scenes which sit comfortably alongside action sequences on various distant alien planets. Big Finish have done a marvellous job with the sound effects and music, that provide an atmospheric backdrop for the genius scriptwriting and phenomenal acting to combine in a perfect mix.
Overall, Signs is The Diary of River Song's masterpiece, a stand out story that needs to be listened to by any Doctor Who fan.
10/10
