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.
The War Doctor, Box 2 covers
Doctor Who, The Paradox Planet
Another good story in the latest 4th Dr series. I was really getting into this one when I was listening to it, then I discovered it’s a two part story! I can’t wait to find out the rest!
The War Doctor, Infernal Devices
I’ve only just got this even though it came out a little while ago, and, based on how good the first one was it should be pretty amazing actually. So I’m really looking forward to listening to it soon. Very soon I hope.
Torchwood, The Victorian Age
I have to say that I wasn’t looking forward to this story. It just didn’t appeal to me at all. However, I got it, and listened to it yesterday, and I have to say that I was really impressed. It was a great story. A real caper! I enjoyed the whole thing and I’d say that it’s probably one of the best since Big Finish started this series of Torchwood audios.
4th Doctor … The Labyrinth of Buda Castle
This really is a cracking 4th Doctor story. Just excellent. Like the old days really. A good chase around. A great villain, and I won’t say any more just in case you’re actually deciding to buy it and listen to it.
Anyway, as you can guess, I loved it.
