Harvest of the Sycorax is the penultimate episode of Classic Doctors, New Monsters Volume 1 from Big Finish. Featuring the Seventh Doctor and the Sycorax. Written by James Goss. Unlike the previous two episodes of Classic Doctors, New Monsters I was not able to enjoy this tale of the Seventh Doctor meeting the Sycorax. The overall story ultimately felt flat to me. Goss however does make considerable good use of blood control by the Sycorax as established in their introductory episode The Christmas Invasion. This plus the character of Zanzibar or to be precise Zanzibar Hashtag was not bad as the companion-like character. This episode featured a sinister organisation called Pharma Corps and its presence as a plot device did not feel unlike that of the Genesis Corporation in the previous episode Judoon In Chains. I also share the Doctor and others' irritation with the voice of the computer. Having not being able to enjoy Harvest of the Sycorax may not have been helped by me listening to this a day after listening to the much stronger tale Judoon In Chains.
