Well, this category is about books. Not just reading, but often for me, listening, as I do love audiobooks a lot. Although you can probably tell that by now.
Yet another excellent story in this series of fourth Doctor adventures. This is so reminiscent of the original TV series, and of course, beautifully written as ever, with lots of great lines and wit. I actually think that this has been one of the best 4th Doctor series that Big Finish has produced. I’m really impressed, and also sad that there aren’t so many left until the end.
I have to say that this story is complete genius. I loved every minute of it. It was a joy to listen to as the writing is just awesome. It really does hark back to the best of the fourth doctor. Well worth a listen in my view. In fact, this whole series has been brilliant. I don’t think that there has been a poor episode in there at all.
I’m really looking forward to this. It’s been a long time coming. Well a year to be precise. I think I’ve listened to the first series a couple of times since it came out, but I’m hoping to get to listen to the whole of it again before series 2 emerges next week, just so I’ve got the story clear in my memory.
It maybe overkill a little, but I don’t mind that kind of thing really.
I listened to this audiobook the other day. I can’t even remember buying it, but I have it. The 7th Doctor wasn’t a favourite of mine, and I haven’t listened to many of the audio stories. I didn’t find this one too interesting, but it did make me realise just how little I know about the world of the 7th Doctor and companions.
My interests have always been around the 4th, 5th and 8th Doctors, but with a little of the 3rd as well. I’m also warming to the 6th. However, Sylvester’s Doctor passed me by in the main. I’m not sure that’s going to change particularly, but it is a strange feeling when you work out how much you don’t know about a subject you’re very interested in.

I actually quite like the 6th Doctor stories these days, and this one is pretty good. It is sort of a sequel to The Keeper of Traken. I can see how it is sort of a sequel, but not entirely. That doesn’t make sense unless you know both stories though.
Anyway, irrespective of whether or not it is a sequel, it’s not a bad story entirely on its own merits. Actually it’s pretty good.
Another interesting music related book to investigate …
After the previous couple of volumes of the Liberator Chronicles I wasn’t sure about this version. But actually it was very good and provides some interesting back story for both Blake and Jenna. So I quite enjoyed it.
Another good story from the lost stories series. Listening to these 5th doctor stories does make me realise that there’s a real difference in these stories from the 4th Doctor stories. It’s interesting to hear them and begin to draw a distinction. Or perhaps I’m just a little too close to this stuff?
I’ve been looking forward to this book for a while now as it’s a special interest for me. I saw the Radiophonic workshop at WOMAD last year and I’ve always been interested in Delia Derbyshire’s work.
