Part 3 of this four hour long set and things are just getting going really. I can see parts of the original and parts of the last BBC version in there too. I’m still enjoying it and already wondering about when series 2 will be out.

Old but not bad, that’s what I mean by vintage.
Big Finish: Survivors – Exodus
The second episode of Survivors is just as good, and just as dark as well. It works well. It isn’t easy listening at all. In some ways it is just like an extended part of the first episode really. Not that that’s a bad thing you understand.
Big Finish: Survivors – Revelation
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
4th Doctor: The Evil One
Another amazing story from Big Finish. It’s always great to hear Geoffrey Beevers as the Master, and excellent to hear Michael Keating in a Doctor Who story.
This was an excellent story too. There’s real depth in this one, and the development of Leela’s character is really interesting too. In fact this whole series has been excellent so far. I’ve been very impressed, and this story isn’t any different.
