In March 2016, it's this month's $2.99 discounted story. Find it at: https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/hexagora-414 This one I heartily recommend! Not giving away too much, this adventure features an alien race with an complex and interesting problem. Hint: I was reminded of Kafka's Metamorphosis! Also all three Tardis crew members (Fifth Doctor, Tegan, and Nyssa) deal with a range of conflicts and situations, including flirtatious relationships. On another planet, in search of a human abducted from Earth, they find a replica of Tudor London busting loose with riots and brawls. The whole planet has been plunged into an Ice Age, thus the crackling fires in the background. In the shadows lurk insectoid creatures referred to as "Sleepers." Overall this story did a great job of reminding me the best of the Davison era of Doctor Who.
