someone who's doing some things
A wonderful company that make audiobooks of some of my favourite stories, like Dr Who, Blake’s 7 and several others.
This is the second part to the Paradox Planet, which on its own was a brilliant story. As a two parter it’s amazing. This second part is superb and really takes me back to classic 4th Doctor territory. Excellent stuff. Another bit of genius from Big Finish.
Yes, pun intended in the title. But I mean, who could resist? This is the first part of a 3 part story covering both masters (within the big finish universe) and engaging three doctors (5,6, and 7). I’ve been enjoying the 5th doctor stories for while now so I’m intrigued to see what the story is like and how it unfolds over three episodes.
The second volume of short trips was good too. It was the same format as the first. A range of stories covering the first 8 doctors. All good, some better than others of course. But overall, very enjoyable.
So I bought this on offer from Big Finish. It was really good. Two hours of great little stories from the 1st 8 doctors. Very enjoyable indeed. Nice bite sized stories that work very well on their own.
The latest in season two. I’m looking forward to listing to this one later on today.
So these are the covers of the Short Trips volumes I got yesterday. These are relatively old, about 6 years I think. I’m looking forward to listening to them.
There were some good offers, but in the end I only went for one, which is fine, I didn’t end up having to break the bank. I hope that they do more stuff like this though. They have some great stories and series. I’d like to see them do some other new stuff of course, like UFO, like Space 1999. That would be brilliant, well it would be in my opinion anyway.
Well the first deal today from Big Finish that was useful to me was the first 4 volumes of Short Trips. That’s a lot of stories so I thought I’d get it and give it a listen. Of course that deal has gone now, but it was a good one, or at least so I hope anyway.
And I really enjoyed it, enjoyed it a lot. It was a little disjointed in terms of the connection between the three stories. Even so, they were all good in their own right, each story that is. And it was a good follow on from the first story too. The cast was excellent to say the least and it was really great to hear David Warner in there with Mr Hurt.
In fact, the first story was quite unusual for a Dr Who story. I shan’t elaborate as it would really give the game away, but it revolved around David Warner’s character.
Anyway, I’m interested to hear the next set of stories in the series.
According to them there’s going to be a bunch of deals coming today, starting from 9am. So it could be an expensive day really! Who knows (pun intended). I’ll be watching their site like a hawk of course and if there’s something truly startling I may even post about it. We’ll see.
