Absolution (BFM audio story)

Absolution was the one hundred and first monthly Doctor Who audio release produced by Big Finish Productions. It was the last story to feature C'rizz played by Conrad Westmaas. It saw C'rizz sacrifice himself. Thus, C'rizz joins a small group of companions who died whilst travelling with the Doctor. The consequences of his demise were felt by Charley Pollard, leading her to voice a desire to leave the Eighth Doctor's company.

Publisher's summary
''Confession. Penance. Absolution.''

The TARDIS breaks down in a forbidden sector of space. Ghostly voices cry out for salvation and only C'rizz, the Doctor's Eutermesan companion, can answer their call — for only he knows the secret of the Absolver. But will he use it to rescue his friends or save the universe?

The Doctor's sins are catching up with him and the infernal beast Borarus is hungry. Time is running out and Judgement Day is at hand.

Welcome to Hell.
