Audio Club Extra: Gallifrey 1.2 - Square One

This was what I didn’t like about Spirit.

I will agree with that, however me not liking that about Spirit isn’t enough to make me not love Spirit because it’s a problem with the wider series rather than that single episode. It is particularly noticable in Spirit though, I will give you that

Oh boi… this one was one I sat for a while, was it bad? No.
Was it good? Also, no.
Many already explained it quite well, while the Story itself is good, how Leela is handled is quite off-putting and feels very much like they forgot how smart Leela is and well putting her in this Situation is quite off-putting.
While the Time Travelling Aspect of it all and the Idea on the Paper isn’t really bad, I think the Script needed a few reworking when it comes to the whole exotic dancer angel.
For me, this is a perfectly well-made story in its execution. Louise and our Leads are great in it and do a great Job. There are some great Scenes, especially with Lalla and Louise. The Side Cast does a decent, solid Job, nothing too outstanding but nothing terrible.
I appreciate that Gallifrey early on tries to touch on more explicit matters, but I think it was done in a very mixed Way.
This one is a tricky one to properly articulate, all I will say is to give the Reviews from @Speechless, @JayPea, and @MrColdStream a Read, they bring up plenty of great Points!

Enjoyed this a lot more than Weapon of Choice and was fairly hooked throughout! With some big caveats of uh wow this story does not treat women well. Yike.
