More experiments with Romo

Experimenting with attaching other devices to the Romo. The idea was to use a simple velcro patch to attach a little light sensitive instrument to the front of the Romo. That way it could make a noise depending on how much light was going into it.

It did work. It was ok, but not that interesting. However, it means I can attach other stuff to Romo and do some more experiments at some point. Which I will do.

The Night of the Triffids

Another excellent production from Big Finish. The Night of the Triffids is a follow on from the original story, set 25 years into the future. As I’d really enjoyed a number of the interpretations of the original story I thought I’d try this follow up. I wasn’t disappointed at all.

As with almost every story I’ve listened to from Big Finish it was excellent, and, in places, very moving too. In some ways I hope that the writer would do a follow up to the follow up. I doubt that will happen, but I can always hope.
