What did I think? 4th Doctor, Wave of Destruction

This is a real return to form. I absolutely love it. I shan’t give anything away just in case you’re likely to listen to it, but it is a lovely story and a great one for Romana II to return to. It has the feel of another delightful story, “The Auntie Matter”, which is gorgeous.

If this is setting the tone for this season then I’m going to be very happy indeed.

Short Trips, The Black Dog

I was skeptical about this audiobook as I thought it would just be too short get a real story going. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Even though it was short, only 35 minutes long, it was great. A good, self contained Doctor Who story. Well narrated by Louise Jameson too.

So I might need to look into a few more of these short trips stories now.

Big Finish’s Christmas offers are good but …

So far, and we’re on day 5 of 12 I presume, I’ve either already got them or I’ve not wanted them. So they’ve not been the best of offers from my perspective, although I’m sure that they’re very good for other people. Just not me.

Of course, the current humble bundle for Big Finish (Worlds of Doctor Who) is very good, and I’m hoping that tomorrow they’ll add even more books to it. As for Big Finish’s own offers, I’m hoping that the next few will be a little more appealing to me. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.

Doctor Who Short Trips … Black Dog

I’ve been meaning to sample a few of the Big Finish ‘short trips’ stories, but haven’t got around to it as yet. So when this one came out yesterday I decided that it was an idea time to start. It’s only just over 30 minutes long so I’m not expecting a detailed story, but it could be fun.

Awesome Doctor Who deal on Humble Bundle

Posted by on in Audiobooks, Books and AudiobooksLeave a comment

I just thought I’d mention that currently there’s a really good deal on Doctor Who audiobooks at Humble Bundle. All of them are Big Finish audiobooks, so good quality, and cheap as anything! Just $15 (£10.50) gets you the deal, so in GBP terms it is less than £1 an audiobook. Can’t really say fairer than that.
