20 mins into Disc 3. Adric is still eating. NNNGHH. -Ralph My order from The Works has arrived. Apparently. Though I got an email this morning saying that Ghost Light was out of stock so they posted it without it (to be fair they refunded me, but I like to buy stuff in bulk to save on shipping!). Also the box has been left with a neighbour who I have not met and who doesn't seem to be in at all. Soon I will have my copy of Black Orchid though! D:

Big finish have reduced all their Ice Warriors stories to a fiver thissssss weekend. -Ralph Turns out I do own The Bride of Peladon, I did have to go and check, that's how memorable it must be! I guess I need to buy Mission to Magnus, Thin Ice and Prisoner of Peladon!

The Prisoner of Peladon is tops.
Talking of tops, the audiobook of Earthshock is brilliant! Some nice sound effects and Davison and Briggs are fabulous.

That would be amazing. Like in the deleted scenes for The Empire Strikes Back which features folk shouting: "BANG!" a lot.

re: THE MACRA TERROR serial soundtrack. The initial CD release used the Colin Baker narration from the tape release (moved around slightly in places). When the Lost TV Episodes cd sets were punted out, The Macra Terror was redone from scratch with new narration written and performed to bring it in line with other releases. I did want to hear it but without buying a boxset of stories I already had. I see it has now been released separately as a download for £4. Hurray. I must give it a spin. The previous narration was rather lacking in comparison to later releases of missing stories. www.audiogo.com/uk/doctor-who-the-macra-terror-tv-soundtrack-ian-stuart-black-gid-1011234-Ralph Listened to it today. Superb release. The quality of the soundtrack is much more dynamic and clear with the narration being somewhat better written. Got a vastly different experience from the story this time as it was so much easier to visualise what was going on and the story has improved somewhat for me. The previous two attempts were a bit of a chore to listen to in comparison. Well worth four quid of anyone's money. -Ralph

Argh, The Twin Dilemma is hurting me. Saward was not a skilled novelist.

It's dreadful and as much as it pains me to say this: Colin's reading is really really bad! He's trying too hard to make it arch and funny.

Impulse buy was the TV soundtrack of The Tenth Planet. Top stuff. Damn you, Audiogo and your cheap download prices!

The Target version of The Twin Dilemma is not good. I remember reading it in the past and finding it tough going.

NEVERRRRRRRR!
In other news, still got Paradise Towers and Ghost Light from The Works haul to get through. Haven't read either of them. Then the 6-story 11th Doc TARDIS box set to finish off with.
And then I can get back to the nth number of Big Finish Whodios I haven't had time to listen to!

I probably have that amount of BF stuff to get through never mind the growing pile of Audiogo downloads.
Started Paradise Towers. Finding Langford's rendition of McCoy rather distracting! Better than the telly version though, so far.

The missing stories aka The Lost Stories as BF call them are highly variable. Great highs to massive lows!

Ah yes. Both of them are excellent. I would say BF's 1st Doctor audios are by the far the most consistently good stories they put out for any Doctor. I've yet to hear a bad 1st Doc audio from them, either in the Lost Stories or Companion Chronicles range.
