It gets off to a bad start but picks up as it goes on.

It'll go on the pile. Some of these BBC sounds dramas are okay. The limelight series ones can sometimes be quite gripping. They tend to be near future stories, or intriguing docu-dramas.

Once you can get past the faff at the start and go into it assuming it's a DW spin-off rather than a DW series proper then you'll be fine.
Joel the UNIT scientist is the sensational character find of 2022.

Is it done yet? It's ten eps isn't it?
I got the first three volumes of the third doctor adventures in last week's sale. Looking forward to hearing those.

Time War 4: superb opening the two episodes. The back half was fine. I had assumed this set ended this era for the 8th Doctor but nay: a cliffhanger! Er. There is no Time Wars 5.
One episode into Stranded 1 and a nice change of pace. The Curator is a fantastic character and Lord Tom is on top form.

I listened to Prisoners of the Lake yesterday, the first Third Doctor adventure. Really enjoyed that. Great Season 8/9 vibes. Last week I did the Fourth Doctor story from Victorious, Genetics of the Daleks. That was ace too, riffing off Rob Shearman's Dalek but doing its own thing.

Redacted episode 10: oh dear. Not a good final episode.
Stranded 1: loved it. A breath of fresh air for the 8th Doctor ongoing saga which had become increasingly portentious. Rebecca Root is a real find too.

The new Omega drama starring Brian Blessed (from a company other than Big Finish) has arrived in comic shops today. It includes an exclusive commentary for Mindwarp by Blessed.

Last minute purchase yesterday of Third Doctor vols 4 & 5 in the BF sale. Slowly catching up, just keeping ahead of that 'out of print' curve with the CDs through sales. I'm really hoping B7 Crossfire gets a decent sale price when the next B7 set comes out in November as that's on death row and I don't have it yet.

More McGann Time War sets announced. Take my money, Big Finish, take it all.

Finished Stranded 4. I really enjoyed the run of the four Stranded sets. Easily my favourite of the 4×4 McGann box set runs. The last episode was very affecting.
I suspect it will be very Marmite for folk but I found it to be a refreshing change and am sad it is over. Also: neither the Eleven or River Song appeared.
Meanwhile, BEYOND WAR GAMES was exactly as you would expect. Enjoyable start for 'Season 6B' though. Michael Troughtoun sounds so much like his dad at times I could swear they had found some unused Pat dialogue from somewhere.

I need to get round to picking Stranded up, but will definitely be getting the new Time War sets.

Mind of the Hodiak is...not good.
Also, take a shot any time someone says "the Hodiak" or "Doctordoctordoctor" and you'll be face down in a gutter by the end of part 1.

Part 2 is slighty better but still awful. Of historical curiosity only.

Yes indeed. I advised my sister of that this morning and she was pleased to have some new stuff to listen to for the next few months. I've heard the first boxed set, so I may wait for a few weeks before I join for the latter stuff, but I'll be looking forward to hearing the rest as I quite enjoyed the first three episodes.

Argh. Episode 4 has been split in two. So will there be 12 stories transmitted or 12 *episodes*

Ah! It has been split then? My sister had commented that the listed running time seemed surprisingly short. I was going to look into it, but you have saved me the research there!
