One week to go before the War Doctor arrives

Yeah, I know. I’m excited about this, but I did think that the War Doctor (especially played by John Hurt) was such a great idea so I am really looking forward to it. With a week to go I’m wondering if I should read or listen to Engines of War, the BBC Audio story for the War Doctor. I probably don’t have time to get that done, but I’d like to.

Anyway, if you didn’t know, The War Doctor box set comes out on the 14th.

UNIT has arrived

Big Finish - UNIT new series
Big Finish – UNIT new series

I checked back earlier on to see when this was first announced, and it was back in Feb this year, so I’ve been waiting for this a long time. I expect that I’m not the only one by a long way.

I’m so glad that Big Finish have brought back UNIT and given it a new lease of life. I’m really looking forward to it and I have high expectations to say the least. I hope that they’re met.

Anyway, I’m off to buy it now. As always, I’ll let you know what I think of it.

After listening to Survivors series 3

I have to say it was another good series. It moved the story on in a similar but slightly different direction to what’s gone before. I like that. If I have any complaints at all, and really, I don’t, it’s that I would’ve wanted something just a little more dramatic. It was good though.

I really like what Big Finish have done with it. Not just because I like the fact that Survivors is still going because of them, but because of the way they’ve put it together, keeping the feel of the original, and even some of the original cast, but expanding it and taking it in new and yet consistent directions.

I won’t give any spoilers though.
