What do you think of Loups-Garoux? I prefer that one to Phantasmagoria myself

Loups-Garoux is good too. It might just be that I have a soft spot for this one. Itās traditional almost to a fault and one of those pieces of comfort Who for me. I donāt listen to it often, but always enjoy it when I do. Iām also not a Mark Gatiss fan. None of his stories really grab me.

Honestly, itās the definitive āThis story existsā for Big Finish so far. Donāt get me wrong, itās not bad, having the Five and Turlough Pairing makes it a bit more unique. But itās pretty unremarkable.
I donāt think you can do anything wrong with listening to this, pretty solid start for the 5 solo run, but even out of the first 10, I rarely ever think about this Story. I think that tells you enough about how I feel about it

Agreed with what others have said about this being just a fairly standard story, which isnāt a bad thing, but some things do seem to come out of nowhere or just feel a little disconnected.
Gatiss hamming it up is always a bit of fun though, definitely my favourite part of the experience.

Well this was the first time Iād listened to this story & I was pleasantly surprised. Yes it was definitely a traditional-style classic 5th Doctor story which is exactly what I want from BF. The Doctor was completely in character & Turlough was more likeable than in the TV series, probably because he wasnāt being overshadowed by Tegan for once. I liked the way he developed from āvery reluctant heroā to becoming intrigued by the mystery and determined to get to the bottom of it even without the Doctor by the end.
I did find it hard to distinguish who some of the voices were - I remember that one of the problems I had with early BF was the way they liked to use very small casts with everyone playing multiple roles so it was hard to identify who was who - but I had āhalf-guessedā the identity of the alien shapeshifter from the clues given before the reveal, but not that both were the same person - I had thought there were two aliens (the dialogue for one of the alien scenes in Episode 2 was too quiet for me to hear in the car which didnāt help).

I really donāt know what to think about this story because even though I found myself enjoying it in places overall it wasnāt all that great. The pacing was weird and the story focus felt confused at times
4/10 for me

This one started off Ok. I just felt like some of the acting was wonky.
Was nothing wrong with it really - not one iāll be revisiting down the line though.
