More action in The Works today. They had got the 'TARDIS Adventure Collection' in again (big cardboard TARDIS with 6 original audio 11th Doc stories). New in were audiobooks of The Silent Stars Go By and The Coming of The Terraphiles* and the audio version of the SHADA** book.
On a tangent, they also had the radio serial Aliens in the Mind. Based on a story by Robert Holmes and starring Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Richard Hurndall! Liner notes by Sir Andrew of Pixley!
-Ralph
*I own the novels and have never got round to reading them. I keep forgetting about them as they move from pile to pile.
**11 hrs and 30 mins long!

Generally, The Works seems to becoming a dumping ground for excess Audiogo stock. Piles of their unabridged audios of the Fleming Bond novels too, and they only came out a few months ago!

Three hours into Ghost Light. Ian Hogg may be the most terrible audiobook reader of all time. He's awful!

It will amount to 6hs 50mins of pain by the end. He reads every sentence slowly with random pauses and often ending them as if it is a question or he can't be bothered. I swear you can hear him puzzling out the meaning of common words.

Yep. The added length means it may trump the Black Orchid audiobook for awfulness. I have not read the novel, but it's hard to tell if it was any good underneath Hogg's literally breathless and deathless delivery.

Ghost Light finally finished. It has made my commutes rather tedious of late. A shame. I got the impression that the text source may have been decent but it was the most awfully read audiobook I have ever heard. Mr Hogg is a fine dramatic actor but he's really not suited to talking books. He reads it as poorly as, well, I would if I tried! Avoid like the plague.
A wee break now from Audiogo stuff to delve back into the Big Finish pile I think.

Audiogo tweeted that Cuddly Colin was in the studio recently reading Mindwarp. Add this to the sticker book in Tesco that has a Valeyard sticker in it and the glorious TRIAL OF A TIMELORD has 50th anniversary merchandise after all!!! Unless Simon Power needs a year to stick on a couple of library sound effects.

Post by The Doctor on Apr 30, 2013 18:52:47 GMT
Yes. Yes there is. There is an Official Sticker Book, which I have only seen in Tesco. It has stickers from all eras of the show. There is a Valeyard one!

I have nearly finished it! Who wants a look! It stars the 6th Doctor and Ian Chesterton fighting Yartek, with plenty of coat-changing action
