The Legacy of Time is an anthology that celebrates twenty years of Big Finish making Doctor Who on audio.
The Legacy of Time starts with Lies in Ruins.
Written by James Goss.
Featuring the Eighth Doctor with her archaeologist friends Professors River Song and Bernice Summerfield.
This has the Doctor travelling with a companion named Ria.
Ria was played by Alexandra Riley. Riley had played Ng in Torchwood seasons 5 and 6 produced by Big Finish.
So both Riley and John Barrowman had travelled with the Doctor and worked for Torchwood!
No doubt it was inevitable that Big Finish would bring together Benny and River together as they are both archaeologists who had travelled with the Doctor and definitely fun hearing them together.
Intriguing why this is called Lies in Ruins due to where the Doctor, Benny, River and Ria are.
The revelation about Ria and how she came to be with the Doctor was something I did not expect.
Very enjoyable episode as they also face their adversary the Scavengers in this pretty good way to start The Legacy of Time.
