Another Tom Baker story. Quite a good one too. I enjoyed it, and I’m not sure that I’d seen it before either.
Doctor Who: Underworld
Tag: Vintage
Old but not bad, that’s what I mean by vintage.
Doctor Who: The Horns of Nimon
I hadn’t seen this story for a long time, and I’d forgotten that Janet Ellis (of Bluepeter) was in it too. As 4th doctor stories go it wasn’t amazing, but I’m glad to see it again nevertheless. I got it as part of the ‘Myths and Legends’ box set.
Blake’s 7: Warship
After listening to the chronicles 2 I listened to this hour long story. It’s a full cast production and it works really well. I think that of the Blake’s 7 big finish productions pieces I’ve listened to, this is one of the best so far. I really enjoyed the story and I’m hopeful that it’ll lead on to something interesting.
Space 1999
I know it’s cheesy, but I’m loving this.
The Liberator Chronicles 2.3: Wolf
The last of the stories in this boxed set. It wasn’t bad, somewhat intricate and starring Servalan. In fact it was quite a complex story, and, as with the others in the set, a big improvement on the first box set I got. Still, overall the stories lack something. Perhaps the kind of overall texture that you get from a Doctor Who Big Finish story. Perhaps that’s not a bad thing. Blake’s 7 was always more stark, minimal, and maybe that’s how it’s being played.
Whatever the case, this was a better listen than last time around, so I’m glad I got it, and I might give the first box set another listen now.
Blake’s 7, The Liberator Chronicles: 2.2 False Positive
The second of volume 2’s stories. This one wasn’t as good as the first in the set, but actually when you get into it the story was really good. So far the set has been a big improvement on the first box set.
The Liberator Chronicles: 2.1 The Magnificent Four
The first story from this box set. It was a much better start than the volume 1 box set, so I was pleasantly surprised to listen to it.
Looking forward to listening to this
It’s no secret, I really like Blake’s 7, so I decided to order the Liberator Chronicles 2. I wasn’t too impressed with volume 1, but there’s a bigger cast for volume 2 so I’m hopeful it’ll be worth it.
Blake’s 7 to be remade by SyFy
It was on the BBC news website today, and it’s such great news after so many rumours of Blake’s 7 remakes and reboots etc. Of course, we’ve been here before. More than once actually. But this time I really hope that it does get remade and that it’s really is a worthy remake of the excellent Blake’s 7. It has all the right ingredients. A good writer and director on board, and SyFy actually make some good stuff, so I have high hopes.
I really hope it comes together in the not too distant future.
Doctor Who and the invasion of the dinosaurs
I only got this because it was part of a boxed set with the Android Invasion. The special effects are very far from special, but the story was excellent. Sadly it makes me wonder about collecting Jon Pertwee stories now!
