Review by Cavan Gilbey
It’s been a while since we’ve had a dedicated Second Doctor Lost Stories release, I’ve been waiting for one ever since Lords of the Red Planet came out. Sure we had the Early Adventures with brand new stories for this era, but fans knew there was still plenty of untapped potential in those unmade script. One of the most popular amongst fans was Operation Werewolf, a pseudo-historical proposed by Douglas Camfield and Robert Kitts set in the tense period before D-Day and seeing the Doctor attempting to stop a sinister Nazi experiment which could change the course of history. It’s a narrative which I am surprised the show has never really done all that much, with some exceptions. But it was down to fan-favourite writer Jonathan Morris and the recent but reliable director David O’Mahony to bring this story to life over the span of six episodes. Did they succeed? Well this story is my favourite Second Doctor release from Big Finish so I feel that must account for something.
