Another awesome looking story from Blake’s 7 and Big Finish. I’m really looking forward to hearing this one soon.

I do like audio books.
4th Doctor: Last of the Colophon
I really need to listen to this again as I think I fell asleep through a lot of it. I was on my way back from Chesterfield last weekend after a particularly good birthday weekend for an old friend, and my mind did wander as I listened.
So it deserves a second hearing I think and then I’ll be able to decide what I think of this episode.
Blake’s 7: Mirror
I have been really enjoying this season of Blake’s 7 stories, the arc has been great and each individual story has been good on its own as well, and this story was no different at all. The cast are really good together and the production quality is very high.
I think I might have to listen to them all again even before the next one is out.
4th Doctor: The Evil One
Another amazing story from Big Finish. It’s always great to hear Geoffrey Beevers as the Master, and excellent to hear Michael Keating in a Doctor Who story.
This was an excellent story too. There’s real depth in this one, and the development of Leela’s character is really interesting too. In fact this whole series has been excellent so far. I’ve been very impressed, and this story isn’t any different.
4th Doctor: The Crooked Man
Quite a different story for the 4th Doctor. An interesting story really. I think I might need to listen to it at least one more time before I really decide what I think of it.
Blake’s 7: Drones
Another great Blake’s 7 story from Big Finish, which follows on very nicely from the previous episode. I’m hooked on these now!
Blake’s 7: Battleground
I really should have subscribed to the latest Blake’s 7 series. It is excellent. I love that it’s a full cast drama rather than a narration. These stories are so like the original TV series that they’re a joy to listen to.
Blake’s 7: Warship
I listened to this again today, a great story, a really good jaunt back to the original series. I think I’m going to have to give in and start buying the latest series.
Dear Big Finish, stop being awesome, it’s costing me a fortune
Having just watched Survivors (the last BBC version) for the third time (I think), I hear today that Big Finish are releasing a version of the classic TV series as an audio book. Their series 1 will be 240 minutes long and features, amongst others, Louise Jameson.
I don’t begrudge big finish, it’s just that they seem intent on releasing excellent content that I want to buy, resulting in me having to spend loads of money with them. On the one hand I don’t want them to stop, and on the other, actually I don’t want them to stop at all. I’d rather they just kept it up as it goes.
Doctor Who: The Light at the End – The Revenants
The Revenants was a bonus story on the end of the Big Finish 50th anniversary story “The Light at the End”. I’d meant to listen to it ages ago and just hadn’t got to it, so today I put that right. It’s a companion chronicles story from the 1st Doctor and it’s very nicely put together and is completely in keeping with the 1st Doctor’s stories and style. I liked that. It has a sense of continuity about it.
I actually quite enjoyed it, although I don’t think I’ll be rushing out to get other 1st Doctor companion stories any time soon. Even so, I can see the attraction. It was a good listen. But then, what else would you expect from Big Finish?
