I do like audio books.
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.
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.
Another great Blake’s 7 story from Big Finish, which follows on very nicely from the previous episode. I’m hooked on these now!
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.
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.
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.
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?
I really enjoyed this. As I listened to it I had no idea where it was going or what was going to happen, and I really like that in a story. I did guess the end of the story about 30 minutes before the end. Even so, it was an awesome story over almost 4 hours. Evey minute worthwhile.
I think it’s been left open for a Dark Eyes 3. Perhaps we’ll need to wait another couple of years for that though.
Another excellent story in the 4th Doctor adventures from Big Finish. It picked up from the last episode and kept the pace going the whole way through. It’s a classic story type for Doctor Who as well. Thoroughly enjoyable. Every minute of it.
I only recently listened to the first Dark Eyes again and I loved it. I do find it interesting just how different the 4th and 8th Doctor stories are. So I’ve been waiting for Dark Eyes for some time now and here it is. Running at just over 5 hours of content which includes an hour and a quarter of behind the scenes stuff too.
It’ll be great to get into it. I’ll tell you how it goes.
