I got some of these ‘lost stories’ as they were on sale from Big Finish, and they’re quite good fun. I haven’t heard any of Peter Davidson’s lost stories so far and so it’s interesting to get a few of those as well.

What’s not to like right? It is my favourite genre of fiction by a long way indeed.

Happy Star Wars Day!
So here we are again. May the 4th. It’s a special Star Wars day as we look forward to ‘The Force Awakens’ later this year, and very special for me as I’m looking forward to going to Secret Cinema which is ‘Star Wars’ this year and I think it will be awesome.
Blake’s 7: Truth and Lies … Well that was a season
I enjoyed this latest season of B7, but I’d have to say that it wasn’t the best of the lot. It was a good story arc but not the best that they’ve done in my opinion. Some of the individual stories were very good, that’s for sure but I felt the overall arc lacked something. In some ways it didn’t deliver for me.
Of course it’s very difficult to keep up a series like Blake’s 7. The quality has been pretty amazing at times. Not always, but overall the writing has been good and the performances are always to a really high standard. But the last season was just so good that it’s hard not to make comparisons.
But of course everything is apparently changing for Blake’s 7 at Big Finish, as they published this week. I don’t know what that really means, but I hope it’ll both maintain what they’ve done to date and improve it at the same time. Either way I hope there’ll be more Blake’s 7 to look forward to.
A well mannered war …
Well that was yet another piece of genius. Gareth Roberts’ story was excellent. Amusing, well paced, and entertaining. It had a superb ending which I won’t spoil for you, and a great cast. I enjoyed every minute.
I’m just hoping that Big Finish can put out some more material like this. I’m sure it can’t be easy as the standard is so high, but I think it would be wonderful if they put out more novel adaptations. What I’ve heard so far is amazing.
Blake’s 7: Truth and Lies
So the latest in the current series of Blake’s 7! Exciting stuff!
Next up from the 4th Doctor … Death Match
Well I enjoyed Requiem for the Rocketmen so much I just can’t wait for the next in the series, which looks like it has just as good a cast. Requiem was so good that I hope the follow up does it justice.
More Liberator Chronicles
Liberator Chronicles 3
Liberator Chronicles 4
Liberator Chronicles 5
I bought these as part of the recent Big Finish sale on Blake’s 7 stories. I’ve already got volumes 1 and 2 and so I thought that getting this could be nothing but a safe bet.
I’m really looking forward to hearing this story, although I’ve got a nagging thought that I’ve heard 3 before. We’ll see.
Blake’s 7: Devil’s Advocate
The latest episode in the current season of Blake’s 7 has just come out so I’m looking to listening to it very soon. If it’s anything like as good as the episodes so far it’ll be brilliant.
Listening to Considering Phlebas
I’ve come to this late in the day I know. I’ve not read any of Iain M. Banks books before. So I decided to start with this book as I like long series, and apparently this is just that. I got the first book as an audiobook as I like listening to stories. So far I’m really impressed. I’m really interested and I’m looking forward to the whole story.
It makes me think of Dune in some ways, although that’s probably a little unfair as I’ve not really even started in to the series as yet, but from what I’ve heard so far it makes me think of that epic, and I loved Dune.
