4th Doctor: The Energy of the Daleks

Another great story from the first series of fourth Doctor stories from Big Finish, and I can barely remember it from the first time around. I listened to it yesterday and it’s awesome. A classic Dalek romp.

I hadn’t realised that Leela had never done a Dalek story. In fact, the fourth doctor didn’t do many either. Primarily Genesis and Destiny of the Daleks. Neither of which contained Leela. So this story is very significant indeed.

4th Doctor: Philip Hinchcliffe Presents

I’m really looking forward to this. Two stories, a six part and a four part. I love the longer and more involved stories and with Philip Hinchcliffe it’s going to be excellent.

Big Finish really are awesome and are putting out some truly awesome content these days.

4th Doctor: The Renaissance Man

Today’s Doctor Who story was the second episode from the first series. A story called the renaissance man. I remember this, well, a bit anyway, but not in any detail, so it was wonderful to listen to it again today. It’s a completely awesome story. With a superb cast and what is in fact a very complex and deep plot.

It was like hearing the story for the first time. So tomorrow I’m on to the next story in season 1.

Destination Nerva

I first listened to this story in January 2012. It is the first story that Tom Baker did for Big Finish productions, so it’s kind of a milestone, and not only that, it’s actually a lovely story too. It picks up directly after The Talons of Weng Chiang, which is arguably one of the best Doctor Who stories ever, so an excellent place to start in my opinion.

The story is set on the Nerva dock, which is of course the same as the Nerva Beacon, a location that crops up many times in Doctor Who. The cast is excellent, the action and the story are a joy. It’s a great way to have started his audio stories on Big Finish, and it’s lovely to listen to them again whilst I wait for the season 3 episodes to arrive every month. I think I may have to run through the whole season now that I’ve started.

Blake’s 7: Liberator Chronicles 2 – False Positive

False Positive cover

The Liberator Chronicles are good stories, and I’ve been enjoying listening to these again, but if there’s one thing I don’t like about them, it’s that these stories aren’t full cast dramas. I suppose that this is simply because I’ve recently listened to the latest Blake’s 7 story ‘Fractures’, which was a full cast drama and which is really good.

Anyway, the chronicles are very good, and I should probably get the rest of them at some point.
