I only heard about this kickstarter today and I think it’s one I’m going to back. So I thought I’d post it here in case it’s of interest.
Category: Books and Audiobooks
I really love audiobooks. A good story is the best thing.
4th Doctor: Phantoms of the Deep
Another great 4th Doctor story from Big Finish. I really enjoyed this one and Alice Krige was a surprise, but very good indeed.
On field recording
I just bought this book and started reading it. It’s an area I’ve always meant to get a bit more acquainted with, so I’m looking forward to reading this and exploring the field, as it were.
Blake’s 7: Warship
After listening to the chronicles 2 I listened to this hour long story. It’s a full cast production and it works really well. I think that of the Blake’s 7 big finish productions pieces I’ve listened to, this is one of the best so far. I really enjoyed the story and I’m hopeful that it’ll lead on to something interesting.
The Liberator Chronicles 2.3: Wolf
The last of the stories in this boxed set. It wasn’t bad, somewhat intricate and starring Servalan. In fact it was quite a complex story, and, as with the others in the set, a big improvement on the first box set I got. Still, overall the stories lack something. Perhaps the kind of overall texture that you get from a Doctor Who Big Finish story. Perhaps that’s not a bad thing. Blake’s 7 was always more stark, minimal, and maybe that’s how it’s being played.
Whatever the case, this was a better listen than last time around, so I’m glad I got it, and I might give the first box set another listen now.
Blake’s 7, The Liberator Chronicles: 2.2 False Positive
The second of volume 2’s stories. This one wasn’t as good as the first in the set, but actually when you get into it the story was really good. So far the set has been a big improvement on the first box set.
The Liberator Chronicles: 2.1 The Magnificent Four
The first story from this box set. It was a much better start than the volume 1 box set, so I was pleasantly surprised to listen to it.
Looking forward to listening to this
It’s no secret, I really like Blake’s 7, so I decided to order the Liberator Chronicles 2. I wasn’t too impressed with volume 1, but there’s a bigger cast for volume 2 so I’m hopeful it’ll be worth it.
Doctor Who: Sands of Life
It’s still a little strange to listen to Mary Tamm’s voice, but this is another excellent fourth doctor story, and it has a truly awesome cast as well. David Warner, and Hayley Atwell, as well as Toby Hadoke who I saw in Edinburgh last year with his one man show.
Doctor Who: The War Against The Laan
I’m looking forward to getting to listen to this soon, the next installment of the new series of the 4th Doctor stories.
