We continue our journey with Ace and Doctor Who after the programme ended on BBC One with The Fearmonger. Written by Jonathan Blum and released by Big Finish in 2000, this story is quite relevant to the political climate of today with its anti-immigrant politics and increasingly mainstream fascism. Upon its release, Ben recalls that it seemed a bit farfetched, but giving it a fresh listen to now 19 years later it really stands out as a significant story. David likes how this is a finely crafted mystery and Blum's love for and knowledge of this era is well on display. Both praise how well Ace and the Doctor work together as a team throughout this story. Beautify written, this is a must-listen-to story. Opening music is "First Shooting" from Alistair Lock's score for The Fearmonger. Closing music is the 1978 song "Power in the Darkness" by the English punk band Tom Robinson Band, which stylized fist on its cover was the inspiration for Clayton Hickman's CD cover design.
