The Earth Alliance stands on the brink of victory against
the deadly Daleks in the Kedru System. But at what cost will
this triumph be won, and will it all have been worth it? Meanwhile,
deep within the Dalek Empire, Susan Mendes, the so-called
“Angel of Mercy”, prepares for her latest mission.
But is she really a help or actually a hindrance to the efforts
of the human resistance...?
Part
2 of The Fearless gets straight down to business,
kicking off with an exciting space battle and shouting Daleks
aplenty.
Salus
Kade (Noel Clarke) also does his fair share of shouting, both
before the battle and, especially, after it. The intensity
of Clarke’s performance here may come as something of
a surprise to listeners (myself included) who know him primarily
for his role as Mickey Smith in Doctor Who - though
the actor points out, in a brief interview at the end of the
disc, that the cowardly Mickey of the 2005 series is very
much the exception to the rule in terms of the roles he has
played during his career to date.
Susan
Mendes (Sarah Mowat) enters the story properly during the
second half of this episode. These scenes reacquaint us with
her character and her dubious dual role as both a caring symbol
of hope and a collaborator of the Daleks.
I
guessed the revelation made at the episode’s climax quite
early on, and (without giving too much away) it isn’t
really that much of a threat, given that this serial is set
during the first Dalek Empire series. But will that
deter me from eagerly shoving the next instalment into my
CD player? No fear!
