Queen of Rhodia is the final episode of Class: The Audio Adventures Vol. 4 from Big Finish.
Written by Blair Mowat, the composer of Class.
Vol. 4 was released in April 2020 and since then no fifth volume was made and released.
Therefore Queen of Rhodia could have been the final Class Big Finish if it weren't for the fact that Big Finish had recently announced the single story release Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince also written by Mowat for January 2023.
Here I was thinking prior to the announcement of Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince that I was finally going to finish off all the Class Big Finishes. Oh well.
Quill suddenly found herself back on Rhodia and has no idea how she got there.
Bizarre still is that she also sees the people from Coal Hill not as themselves but as someone else, all except Charlie who was still Charlie here but a different one.
Intriguing story as we explore with her on what is really going on here and a Corporal Blood being a key to this mystery and how it relates to the penultimate TV episode The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did.
There is a good reason why Corporal Blood has that name.
The revelation of why the set up was very satisfying.
No doubt a reflection on the way the TV series ended, this ends with Charlie telling Blood asking what is going to happen next and his speech here seems reminiscent of the Seventh Doctor's words to Ace at the end of Survival reflecting on the end of classic Who.
Charlie's speech to Blood seems to achieve the same purpose even telling him they had work to do which is what the Seventh Doctor said to Ace in the said speech in Survival.
Listened to the interviews with Mowat and Greg Austin (Charlie) afterwards.
Interesting the response Mowat gave on why he set this after The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did saying it is about the Big Finish licence could not go past the final TV episode The Lost and how he loves dealing the limitation of that.
