The lovely people at Big Finish had a bit of a sale over the weekend so I picked up a few bargains. Some of these are stories that I wouldn’t normally get into, specifically the Hartnell stories. But I’m going to give them a go and see what they’re like, which will be interesting in itself.

Yes! The New Adventures 10th Doctor
Yay! It’s been a bit of a wait but it’s here and I’ll be having a listen soon enough! It better be good, that’s all I’m saying!
Blake’s 7 Liberator Chronicles 7
I’ve only listened up to The Liberator Chronicles 6 up to know, so I’m slowly going to get through all of these, starting with 7. When I’ve listened to it I’ll let you know the verdict.
Doctor Who Short Trips volumes 1-4
So these are the covers of the Short Trips volumes I got yesterday. These are relatively old, about 6 years I think. I’m looking forward to listening to them.
And that was the Big Finish March madness
There were some good offers, but in the end I only went for one, which is fine, I didn’t end up having to break the bank. I hope that they do more stuff like this though. They have some great stories and series. I’d like to see them do some other new stuff of course, like UFO, like Space 1999. That would be brilliant, well it would be in my opinion anyway.
Big Finish Short Trips deal
Well the first deal today from Big Finish that was useful to me was the first 4 volumes of Short Trips. That’s a lot of stories so I thought I’d get it and give it a listen. Of course that deal has gone now, but it was a good one, or at least so I hope anyway.
I finished listening to Infernal Devices
And I really enjoyed it, enjoyed it a lot. It was a little disjointed in terms of the connection between the three stories. Even so, they were all good in their own right, each story that is. And it was a good follow on from the first story too. The cast was excellent to say the least and it was really great to hear David Warner in there with Mr Hurt.
In fact, the first story was quite unusual for a Dr Who story. I shan’t elaborate as it would really give the game away, but it revolved around David Warner’s character.
Anyway, I’m interested to hear the next set of stories in the series.
Deals from Big Finish today?
According to them there’s going to be a bunch of deals coming today, starting from 9am. So it could be an expensive day really! Who knows (pun intended). I’ll be watching their site like a hawk of course and if there’s something truly startling I may even post about it. We’ll see.
Survivors Series 4 is coming in June
I’m a big Survivors fan. I’ve watched both the 1970’s and most recent TV versions and the Big Finish audio series 1 through 3. So I am looking forward to the next installment. I like how Big Finish have taken the whole thing in a different direction in a way whilst also staying consistent with the original book. That’s something that the 1970’s TV show didn’t entirely manage.
I’m really glad that Big Finish is maintaining the series and developing it, and also using a number of the original actors as well. They do it so well. Long may it last.
