5/5 “highly entertaining, and highly recommended.” Cultbox

“It’s a joy, this story. It’s the kind of story you want to finish, and then loop straight back to the beginning to listen to again.” MassMovement

10/10 “It finds the perfect balance of plot, characterisation, mystery and fun. If you enjoy the lighter Davison episodes like Black Orchid, then you’ll love Serpent in the Silver Mask. If you’re not a fan of lighter stories, this tremendously fun adventure is still worth a listen for Sam West playing an entire family at once.” Blogtor Who

“Serpent in the Silver Mask is a delightful little murder mystery, with some intriguing sci-fi twists, black humour and plenty of drama for the Doctor and his companions to get their teeth into. Samuel West is terrific in the various Mazzini roles” The Digital Fix

“(David) Llewellyn has crafted an exemplary script with a central mystery that genuinely surprised me.” Doctor Who Online

“West demonstrates great versatility – as well as providing one of the funniest Big Finish scenes since the heyday of The One Doctor” SciFi Bulletin

“If you wanted a best representation of the Fifth Doctor’s tenure for the most part on audio, “Serpent in the Silver Mask,” is the best” Indie Mac User

This title was released in March 2018. It will be exclusively available to buy from the BF website until April 30th 2018, and on general sale after this date.

You are cordially invited to Argentia, the galaxy’s most exclusive tax haven, to attend the funeral of mining magnate Carlo Mazzini. The memorial service will be followed by music, light refreshments, and murder!

Carlo’s heirs have come to say their final goodbyes (and find out how much they’ve inherited) but when a masked killer begins picking them off one by one, Argentia goes into lock-down, closed off behind its own temporal displacement field.

Can the Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan and Adric apprehend the murderer before Argentia – and everyone on board - is forever cut off from the rest of the Universe?
