Currently downloading the last two stories in BF's original U.N.I.T series. I picked up the first two earlier in the year, and have been giving them a listen. Really surprised by how well they work - and how little they resemble the sort of thick-ear nonsense that traditional U.N.I.T could so easily risk dissolving into. The core cast for the series are decent, and is quite fun to hear their dynamic evolve over the first two stories.
Decided to take a punt on the last two on the strength of them being fairly cheap, and the first two having been good. Now - as they have finished downloading as I typed this - to get them unzipped and synched to the Ipad.

I was very pleasantly surprised by how decent the original UNIT run was. Works well as a complete story too. I had overlooked it until it popped up in a 99p sale.

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS?!?!?!
If you buy that, you have to buy a record player.
Is this new narration, or is it the old BBC Audio version?

Uuuuugh I really want that but it's £100 and I'd never listen to it

Quite. Records are nice things to look at, but you wouldn't want to actually play them. It's too much hassle these days.

In the context of small run vinyl DW releases it is reasonable. Tomb of the Cybermen and City of Death were £30 for 4 episodes/2 records. This is £100 for 13 episodes/7 records. The amazon version also has a lower print run than the RSD releases. For added context we are on a forum where folk regularly drop triple figures for toys. -Ralph

I see the Amazon exclusive variant is #1 in their TV soundtrack sales chart (well today anyway).
#2 is the series 11 soundtrack.
#3 is the regular edition of DMP vinyl.
The hardcore Mavic Chen fans have turned out!

In the context of the Big Finish prices it's an absolute bargain.
I think you should buy both.

Post by The Doctor on Jan 15, 2019 21:32:11 GMT
Sigh. As I have tried to point out the price is fine for what it is. Comparing it to Big Finish is pointless.
I don't dispute that is expensive however!

I was confused as you just said 'Big Finish' without clarification. I understand your point now. Yes their vinyl releases are silly prices.

Agreed.
It's crazy the prices they have them for, I can see why they aren't selling out, as opposed to the limited edition runs which vanish like snow off a dyke.

I don't have pennies for this sale as I pulled the trigger on Doom Coalition. With no telly Who in 2019 there is enough McGann for a box a month from February for me I haven't heard.

Yup. That is the plan. 4 sets of Doom Coalition, 3 Ravenous by end of the year, the Lucy special box in 2019 and he's in the 3rd War Master set and the BF 20th anniversary story.
McGann a week!

The Mervyn Stone books aren't bad. Certainly at £2 a pop.
HE JESTS AT SCARS for a pound! Cheap Valeyard action.
