Doctor Who:
Harvest of the Sycorax
By James Goss
Starring Sylvester McCoy
The third disc in the Classic Doctors: New Monsters Box set sees the 7th Doctor taking on the Sycorax. Now this was another monster from the new series that I wasn’t all that thrilled to see again as they were mostly one dimensional and didn’t seem all that interesting of an alien threat to warrant a return. But Big Finish brought them back and did their best to try and make them threatening. But I wasn’t buying it. It just didn’t seem to work for me having the Doctor taking on the Sycorax and then doing his 7th Doctor manipulation act on them just didn’t seem be all that convincing. But if you listen to this story you figure out quite quickly that the Sycorax are just a minor character in this story as the real problem is the drug corp Pharma Corps as they have developed a drug based on your blood type to help you with any ailment or mood.
