"Afoot" might be an exaggeration, as Animal is the longest hour and 50 minutes you will ever spend listening to a Big Finish audio drama. I'm not remotely sure how they managed to fill up that much time, because certainly nothing happens in this story. In Part One, Ace and Raine infiltrate a campus organization dedicated to the liberation of animals in two seconds. Meanwhile, the Doctor and Bambera look at some plants. You might think these plants are important to the plot for all the time spent on them, but they just turn out to be a convenient way to resolve the actual plot of the story. Animal suffers from similar structural problems to Crime of the Century, actually: there are multiple unrelated storylines, which only intersect when one can provide a convenient way to wrap up another. Even when important things do happen in this story, they’re often only related to us. For some reason, once the aliens show up, all their major actions are only depicted via the Doctor and Bambera talking to each other about things they both already know.
Director Ken Bentley talks a bit in the extras about how Cartmel's writing is so different because it jumps around in tone and the structure is weird and the tension is unusual. "Different" is one word for it. "Terrible" might be another.
