someone who's doing some things
I’ve been a Doctor Who fan as long as I can remember
I’m really looking forward to listening to this as it brings back a character from one of the previous seasons of the fourth doctor, played by David Warner. His was a really good character, and he appeared in two episodes. I’m glad that he’s back in this story, as not only is it a good character, but played by David Warner makes it a great listen.
I’ll let you know when I’ve heard it.
This was a recommendation from the Big Finish site and I thought I’d really l really wanted to hear it because it was read by Caroline Johns herself and I thought her Liz Shaw was a great companion.
This story was excellent. A bit more cerebral a story and I was glad for it. I have to say that I really enjoyed it and so much so that I think I’ll probably try a few more Liz Shaw stories.
I got this on sale from Big Finish and really enjoyed it quite a lot. I’ve never really tried the first doctor stories so I’m really dipping my toe, but it’s good so far.
It took me a while to get round to listening to this set of stories, but I managed to finish it yesterday. I have to say that I was really looking forward to getting into this, but was slightly surprised that it was only 3 stories and not 4. That said, I was pleased that this came out at all as I do think that the Donna companion has been one of, if not the best companion of the new Doctor Who.
Anyway, the stories themselves were good. Pretty much in keeping with the TV episodes with the same characters. I did enjoy them overall. I can’t say that they were the best ever, but they were good. The other stuff in the ‘box set’ was only ok. I’m not sure why Big Finish put in the music from each story as a separate track. It’s ok, sort of nice to hear, but not what I’m really buying it for.
As for the ‘extras’, I’m not a massive fan of these in any audiobook. I do listen to them as occasionally you’ll get a real gem or pearl of wisdom from them, but on the whole I listen once and never again. This set had 2 lots of ‘extras’. The first was time I’ve seen that. The first extras was fine. The usual, interviews, chat, etc. However, the second set seemed to be very little to do with this ‘box set’ and far more general, and I wasn’t sure quite why it was there at all.
Aside from those gripes I did enjoy the stories, and that was the main thing after all, so I’m glad I’ve heard it, and I hope that they do another one.
The lovely people at Big Finish had a bit of a sale over the weekend so I picked up a few bargains. Some of these are stories that I wouldn’t normally get into, specifically the Hartnell stories. But I’m going to give them a go and see what they’re like, which will be interesting in itself.
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much as the first in the trilogy, which I think was the best of all. Anyway, it was ok. I did enjoy it
This is the last in the trilogy of master stories spanning the 5th to 7th Doctors. I really enjoyed the first story. The second was ok, and, as I’m not a huge fan of Sylvester’s Doctor I was wondering whether I’d even get the last in the trilogy. But I did, and I’m glad I did. It was a good story. Not the best, not as good as the first one, but a good conclusion to the trilogy.
As three stories they work really together.
The next episode in the current fourth Doctor season is here. I’m hoping it’ll be a good one as the last one wasn’t quite up to the usual standard in my opinion.
Yay! It’s been a bit of a wait but it’s here and I’ll be having a listen soon enough! It better be good, that’s all I’m saying!
I’ve been really enjoying this season of Doctor Who, so I had high hopes for this story, but it just wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. Don’t get me wrong, it was an ok story, just not an awesome story as some of the others have been. It’s not like I’m going to stop getting these stories, I’m just hoping that this is blip in the season and nothing more.
