Well Dark Eyes was excellent. A great story, a great cast and fantastic performances. So, yet another good show from Big Finish. They output is of a consistently high quality. Bring on Dark Eyes 2!

I do like audio books.
8th Doctor: Dark Eyes – Tangled Web
More excellence in this story for the eighth doctor. I’d quite forgotten how great it was. It makes me look forward to Dark Eyes 2 even more.
8th Doctor: Dark Eyes – Fugitives
Dark Eyes Fugitives is just as good as the Great War episode. I really had forgotten how good this story was. It’s made me look forward to Darks Eyes 2 even more.
8th Doctor: Dark Eyes – The Great War
As I’ve just watched the entire 5 seasons of Primeval (more about that another time) it was interesting to notice that the voice of Molly in this 8th Doctor story was Ruth Bradley, who was in the last few episodes of Primeval. This first part of dark eyes is a great set up for the story, and even though I’ve heard it once before I’m really enjoying it. Paul McGann is such an unsung hero of the Doctor Who world. I personally think that his audio stories are simply excellent, and dark eyes is up there with the best he’s done.
So I’m looking forward even more to dark eyes 2 which is coming in the not too distant future, and also finishing listening to this story soon as well.
Blake’s 7: The Liberator Chronicles 2 – The Magnificent Four
This is a great story. A true Blake’s 7 original, just like the episodes. I really enjoyed it even though I’ve heard it before, and of course it’s made me think that I should listen to more of the back catalogue now.
I think I probably will.
4th Doctor: The King of Sontar
I was really looking forward to this audiobook arriving, so when it became available I downloaded it straight away and listened to it. Initially I was a little disappointed I have to say, I think that in the first half the story meandered a bit, but after that it got straight to it and headed strongly in the direction of being a solid Sontaran story.
Overall it was a good start to the new 4th Doctor season. Good to have Leela back again, and to get a twist on the Sontaran story. I’m looking forward to what’s next.
Time to listen to some Blake’s 7
After the excellent ‘Fractures’ I think it’s time to go back and listen to some more of Big Finish’s Blake’s 7 output. I seem to have quite a lot of it, so I think I’ll start with ‘Warship’.
And that was Fractures
I listened to this story the other day and was really impressed. It was just like one of the old episodes. So I think I might have to get subscribed up to the rest of the series now.
It’s here, The King of Sonar!
The new 4th Doctor series has arrived! I’m really looking forward to hearing this!
The 6th Doctor
I’d never been a big fan of the 6th Doctor. To be honest, by the time Colin Baker had taken over the role I wasn’t really watching anymore. Even so, the 6th Doctor never got a great reception. So when I had the opportunity to grab a 6th Doctor audio story from big finish as part of their Christmas sale, I thought, why not.
Anyway, I’ve just finished listening to “The First Sontaran”, and it’s great stuff. It far exceeded my expectations and made me want to listen more of the 6th Doctor stories. Also, this was one of the ‘Lost Stories’. I’ve got the 4th Doctor box set of these, but none of the others at all, apart from this one now of course.
So it doesn’t look like I’ll be running out of Doctor Who stories any time soon.
