David Warner is just wonderful, and I am so attached to his incarnation of The Doctor! I have been tempted to relisten to all of his audios, but I am trying really hard to use some self control and get caught up with other stories before I start relistening to any. I will never get through them all if I allow myself to do that otherwise!
I am going to begin listening to some of the Bernice stories I missed today while working because now I can’t stop thinking about it!
Really enjoying The Eternity Club. 2nd volume continues the fun tone with a little bit of mystery. The short 30 minute stories are a refreshing change from some of the longer epic releases.
Please Retain Your Ticket for the Cloakroom has a Douglas Adams feel about it’s central idea.
So, I started listening to The Unbound Universe this week.
THE LIBRARY IN THE BODY, or CREEPY SINGING MONKS!
It’s an okay start. Bowerman and Warner are great and this one has some interesting ideas, but the overall story left me a bit cold. Maybe my head wasn’t fully in the game. The Master tease is a fun one though.
Eternity Club Vol 3 continues in the same style as previous instalments. I love the vibe of this series. Great fun.
Update on my Benny journey:
I finished The Unbound Universe this week. It’s a strong set overall. I love Bowerman and Warner in the lead, and Sam Kisgart in the last one is delightful. The best part about these is the mix of humour and darker stuff and the riff on Cybermen in Planet X (“the planetary equivalent of cabbage”) as well as the department store analogy in The Emporium at the End. Slightly disappointing ending to the set, but I suspect there’s more to come in the next one.
Planet X = 8/10
The Very Dark Thing = 7/10
The Emporium at the End = 8/10
