someone who's doing some things
I really love audiobooks. A good story is the best thing.
Yeah, I know. I’m excited about this, but I did think that the War Doctor (especially played by John Hurt) was such a great idea so I am really looking forward to it. With a week to go I’m wondering if I should read or listen to Engines of War, the BBC Audio story for the War Doctor. I probably don’t have time to get that done, but I’d like to.
Anyway, if you didn’t know, The War Doctor box set comes out on the 14th.
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Big Finish. So on Monday (Cyber Monday), their deals were for Cyberman Monday! As opposed to their deals for Black Friday, which were entitled “Black Dalek Friday”. Cheesy or cool? You decide.
I’ve been listening to a lot of Big Finish lately and, whilst for the most part it’s all very good I’ve realised that there’s always a chance of over indulging on such good listening. I think I may have come to that point recently.
So perhaps it’s time to take a bit of a break from their excellent work. Even possibly for just a week to clear my auditory palette as it were!
So Big Finish have now said when they’re going to publish this. It’s just over two weeks away on the 14th of December. So that date is firmly in my diary now! I’m hoping that it’s going to be as good as I’d like it to be. The BBC audiobook was very good indeed, in a somewhat unexpected way, so I hope Big Finish can do even better.
This is quite an early Big Finish story that I bought a while ago to try out some of their earlier series, but I’m not sure I’ve ever listened to it actually. So it’s time to give it a listen, and see if this is going to be a good series to get into.
Finally. After all this time I’ve finished reading these books. The ending was ok. I won’t spoil it for you just in case you’re going to or are reading them. But it was ok. Something of a relief in fact. It’s done now. Over. I can move on and obsess about something else for a while!
Nice covers right? I’ll let you know what I think of the stories when I’ve finished them.
I checked back earlier on to see when this was first announced, and it was back in Feb this year, so I’ve been waiting for this a long time. I expect that I’m not the only one by a long way.
I’m so glad that Big Finish have brought back UNIT and given it a new lease of life. I’m really looking forward to it and I have high expectations to say the least. I hope that they’re met.
Anyway, I’m off to buy it now. As always, I’ll let you know what I think of it.
