I’ve been looking forward to listening to this, and I wasn’t disappointed with the first episode at all. It really did deliver in the same way as the 1970s version did. Extremely dark and brutal in many ways. Yet very well executed indeed.

What’s not to like right? It is my favourite genre of fiction by a long way indeed.
Space 1999: Series 2
I finally got around to getting series 2 of Space 1999. I started watching it and was at once amazed by the mere fact the theme music and title sequence was completely different. As I’m watching the episodes I keep noticing things that are different or unexplained for no reason whatsoever. Such as, there are several characters who aren’t present in the second season, for no reason whatsoever.
Even having said that, I’m enjoying season 2 so far.
4th Doctor: Destroy The Infinite
Another episode in the current 4th Doctor series. I’m looking forward to this.
I think at some point later in the year I’ll have to listen to the whole series again to get a better view on the whole story arc, which is a bit difficult to see at the moment.
Blake’s 7: Cold Fury
I finally got to listen to this today. Ironically it was the day that the final episode in the series got released, so I’m glad I listened to it now rather than leaving it any longer.
It was a slightly confusing story, but good. Probably I’ll listen to the entire series all in one go later in the year hopefully, and I’m sure I’ll get a lot more out of it at that point.
Big Finish brings Survivors to my ears
I’ve been looking forward to hearing this since they announced it as I really like the story and I’m intrigued to know how Big Finish will deal with it. I’m sure it’ll be amazing, all 4 hours of it!
Watching Godzilla
I had high hopes for this film, and they weren’t unfounded. I thought it was amazing. A really excellent film which took plenty of time to get going and tell its story. It didn’t decide to just be a block buster and use too many special effects, it was concerned with characters and the plot and allowing the story to unfold at its own pace. It was well worth going along with the ride.
I hope that they make another, in fact, I hope that they make loads more of them.
Doctor Who: Companion Chronicles – Luna Romana
I’m looking forward to this story even though I’ve got quite a backlog of listening to do at the moment.
Blake’s 7: Cold Fury
Another awesome looking story from Blake’s 7 and Big Finish. I’m really looking forward to hearing this one soon.
4th Doctor: Last of the Colophon
I really need to listen to this again as I think I fell asleep through a lot of it. I was on my way back from Chesterfield last weekend after a particularly good birthday weekend for an old friend, and my mind did wander as I listened.
So it deserves a second hearing I think and then I’ll be able to decide what I think of this episode.
Blake’s 7: Mirror
I have been really enjoying this season of Blake’s 7 stories, the arc has been great and each individual story has been good on its own as well, and this story was no different at all. The cast are really good together and the production quality is very high.
I think I might have to listen to them all again even before the next one is out.
