Series 5 of Dark Eyes as our Victorian Paranormal Investigators transported to the late 1960s due to a mishap with the Doctor's TARDIS at the end of "Voyage to the New World."The theme for this is superb. The updated 1960s Jago and Litefoot music is beautiful to hear and really well-done at capturing the period feel of the 1960s but still feeling a bit familiar. As for the stories themselves.
"The Age of Revolution" does a great job establishing Jago and Litefoot in the 1960s with Jago as a TV presenter for a Victorian Music hall revival, "Those Were the Days" while Litefoot runs a Victorian bookshop. Ellie is still alive and hasn't aged due to events from Series 2 and we're introduced to Detective Sergeant Sacker who serves as their 1960s police foil. The story itself is a bit bumpy when it gets underway as it sets up a political point that puts words in the characters' mouth that undermines their story and we end up with a bit of a deus ex machena escape and a pretty weak ending.
"The Glutonous Guru" finds a classic 1960s new age guru worming his way into Henry (in more way than one.) As Litefoot and Ellie race to save Jago from a horrific fate he seems all too eager to embrace. Writer Marc Platt really took the 1960s setting and went to town with it. The plot is a bit on the disgusting side, but the dark humor was a winner for me as I found myself laughing throughout. Probably not best for mealtime listening.
"The Bloodchild Codex:" A story about an 18th Century magician who found a way to provide Eternal life and two different people who want the book. A somewhat typical ghost story that's unrelated to the series arc and therefore cut short to support the arc.Really, this story couldn't have occurred in the Victorian era.
"The Final Act" (or "The Last Act" as some fan sites dub it) finds Jago and Litefoot fighting the villain of the box set in what's essentially a bit of a sequel to "Talons of Weng-Chiang." The story has some good moments, but loses momentum at the end as writer Justin Richards can't resist throwing in one more element of the original story. Other than the time it took the villains to plot their plan-three generations, there's little that demands this story be set in the 1960s.
Overall, I enjoyed the set but not as much as previous Jago and Litefoot sets. The final story and doing the sequel to Talons really short-circuited the momentum they had going after the second story and I would have liked to have seen more uniquely 1960s stories with Jago and Litefoot and a better resolution to the Ellie story. Still, strong acting and good sound design make these enjoyable even if this is the weakest Jago and Litefoot set to date.
