The Crystal of Cantus is the final story of the sixth season.
Released in June 2006 and written by Joseph Lidster (writer of episodes of Torchwood & Sarah Jane Adventures).
It features the Cybermen . The Cybermen had been used before in a previous Benny story Silver Lining and like that earlier story , the Cybermen are used well in a Benny context in The Crystal of Cantus.
Somewhat disjointed on my first listen but makes more sense upon a repeat listen.
The Crystal of Cantus includes Miles Richardson as Braxiatel and it neatly briefly crossover to his part in events of the Gallifrey series.
The most amusing moment is when Brax offered the Cybermen anything they want and how they reacted when Brax mentioned gold.
There is one excruciating moment, that of hearing the voices of a couple in Cantus, Jack and Babs. No wonder they got the fate that befell them.
This appeared to be Brax’s last story as his manipulation of Jason has been discovered. If it is Brax’s last story in the Benny series, then Brax throughout his appearances has been a very good dynamic with Benny that has been served well by Miles Richardson’s performance as Brax.
