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.

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.

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.

Another good story in the latest 4th Dr series. I was really getting into this one when I was listening to it, then I discovered it’s a two part story! I can’t wait to find out the rest!

I’ve only just got this even though it came out a little while ago, and, based on how good the first one was it should be pretty amazing actually. So I’m really looking forward to listening to it soon. Very soon I hope.

This really is a cracking 4th Doctor story. Just excellent. Like the old days really. A good chase around. A great villain, and I won’t say any more just in case you’re actually deciding to buy it and listen to it.

Anyway, as you can guess, I loved it.
