So, this was the last story with Conrad Westmaas. It wasn’t bad, but I have to be honest in that I didn’t really think that the C’Rizz character was adding anything any more. So I’m intrigued to hear how the next stories work out.

Listened to this just now. Not a bad story, certainly not the best, and I think that the companion combination is starting to get a little stale now. I’m hoping that the 8th doctor will move on in the coming stories.

Not the most wonderful of stories for the 8th Doctor. This one was ok, not the best, but ok. I get the feeling that it would have worked better if it was on TV.

I finally got to listen to the rest of this story, which is really good. Great to have the Master back again in a 4th Doctor story, and Unit and the Brigadier mentioned as well. It doesn’t get much better than that, and it’s great to hear Geoffrey Beevers as the Master, especially as he played the Master in the Keeper of Traken (one of my favourite stories).

Also, it’s a 2 part story! Excellent. Except that I have to wait for the second part to be delivered.

Another spin off Doctor Who story from Big Finish. I bought a handful of these to try them out, and this one is really quite good. Much darker than most Doctor Who stories though, quite contemplative as well.

I’m enjoying it. I may well follow this one up.

I only just realised that I hadn’t actually listened to this 4th Doctor story as yet. It’s been sitting on a shelf, un-listened to since it arrived. So I’m putting that right immediately.

I mentioned that I was going to try out some of the spin off series from Big Finish. I’ve listened to the first episode of this, and it isn’t bad. Lalla Ward and Louise Jameson don’t do a bad job of carrying this story very well.

Quite enjoyable really. I’ll seriously consider getting the next one, in a while anyway.

I can’t help but enjoy listening to Big Finish’s releases. I’ve been listening to and enjoying the 8th Doctor releases, and more recently I’ve been listening to the 4th Doctor stories too. So I thought it would be interesting to have a try at listening to some of the other series that they publish.

So I decided to buy the first episode of a number of the spin off series. Here’s what I bought:

• Gallifrey
• Cyberman
• I, Davros
• Dalek Empire

I’m going to give them a go and see if any of them are worth going further with.
