Spotify ads again ruining it a little for me
“You think they INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION WITH EXCHANGE TEACHER TRAINING”

This gave me an idea: maybe BF should release a story that is constantly interrupted by fake ads, and the Doctor has to figure out how to stop it. It would drive most fans insane!

That’s actually kind of brilliant. It almost sounds like a Rob Shearman idea since he opened Jubilee with that fake movie trailer.

Half reminds me of Cascade Which starts with the openning of a different torchwood story (Zone 10) before playing a glitched version of the torchwood theme and then getting into it, with more glitches iterruping thoughout playing the parts from earlier or later in the story (including the interviews)

‘Like’ from the 6 and Peri boxset has something slightly along those lines!

A very strong 8/10 for me. Lots to love about this audio and in my opinion Big Finish’s first published work that really sold me on them.

I listened to this quite some time ago, and it was an early favourite of mine. The early Main Range is a little up-and-down, but this one quickly sold me on the format. Felt like a full-cast dramatisation of a Virgin New Adventure. (One of the good ones, without all the gratuitous sex and gore for the sake of it.)

Again this was the first time I have listened to this story. It came as a bit of a shock to hear the TV versions of 6 & Peri with all the bickering since up until now I have been listening to more recent Colin audios where their relationship has mellowed considerably. I didn’t like Peri on TV because of this & her tarty dress sense, but I do like her on audio normally.
It was also a bit jarring to hear Lisa Bowerman playing a different character right at the very time she was just only becoming established as Bernice - nearly as bad as casting Elisabeth Sladen in Walking to Babylon and only being able to hear her as Sarah Jane Smith! (Not to mention Sophie as Miranda in Beyond The Sun.)
It just seems so bizarre now as to why they kept using such recognisable voices.
As for the story itself, I really enjoyed it - definitely the best one so far.

I’m still very new to audio adventures in general this being the third ive ever listened to, and in all honesty I didn’t really enjoy this story.
it was good in places using the audio format well however on a whole it just wasn’t all that engaging for me.
5/10 for me as of right now (I feel like my audio ratings will change the more I listen to the format)

I think that, for me, this was a solid 6, or maybe leaning towards a 7. It was a good story, sure, but I think it was just missing some ingredient that could’ve made it great in my eyes. I’m sure I’ll re-evaluate this opinion once I’ve listened to more.

I love when there are stories that are so clearly written for the medium they’re in! The sound creature and the soundscape make this a really cool experience. I think the plot, with its twists is told really well that way too. Also, Six and Peri both have really recognizable voices, and their dynamic is really interesting, so they make this fun too.

Pretty okay. I love the whole concept and how it already plays with the format of Audio (seriously, this one couldn’t be told through any other medium than audio). Unlike Slyvester and to a certain extent Peter too, Colin slips into the Audios with more ease. For a first solo outing for 6 in the MR it very much does the job, Nicola and Colin still have such a fun dynamic between each other that can be felt here also. There are a lot of good bits and overall I think it’s quite a solid one, but I must admit despite having listened to this one more “recent” I don’t recall too much of it. It’s still one I very much enjoyed and compared to the first two, it’s the highlight of those bunches!
