4th Doctor: The King of Sontar

Posted by ashleyelsdonon January 21, 2014in Books and Audiobooks

I was really looking forward to this audiobook arriving, so when it became available I downloaded it straight away and listened to it. Initially I was a little disappointed I have to say, I think that in the first half the story meandered a bit, but after that it got straight to it and headed strongly in the direction of being a solid Sontaran story.

Overall it was a good start to the new 4th Doctor season. Good to have Leela back again, and to get a twist on the Sontaran story. I’m looking forward to what’s next.

I’ve been meaning to post this video for ages now. I thought that Sculpture gave one of the most interesting performances I’ve seen in a long time. It was inventive and mesmerizing and I really hope I get the opportunity of seeing them again.

It’s only a start, but I’ve published my iOS automation and resource page here. There’s only a couple of links there at the moment, but both of those are very useful indeed, and I expect to add more over time.

Time to listen to some Blake’s 7

Posted by ashleyelsdonon January 20, 2014in Books and Audiobooks

After the excellent ‘Fractures’ I think it’s time to go back and listen to some more of Big Finish’s Blake’s 7 output. I seem to have quite a lot of it, so I think I’ll start with ‘Warship’.

Space 1999: Season 1

Posted by ashleyelsdonon January 18, 2014in TV

It is just as I remember it. The stories aren’t actually too bad by today’s standards, and it’s obvious that they’re trying to ideas and concepts in the show that weren’t being addressed elsewhere. The sets aren’t bad either, and neither are the special effects when you allow for when it was bad. Of course, the fact that it’s meant to have started in 1999 is quite amusing from today’s perspective as we’re so far away from having a base on the moon or indeed any kind of sophisticated space programme anywhere in the world.

It’ll take me a little while to get through it, but I’ll get there, and then I’ll have to decide if I’m going to get myself season 2 as well.
