Just wanted to bring this to forefront for all our new members and the old ones who have getting into these more for whatever reason (Hi @Jae). Reigniting old discussions can be fun.
I’m really enjoying these! For the most part, they’re nothing super special, just another nice adventure with the relevant TARDIS team, at least as far as I have listened so far. I’ve listened to the first season with Leela, the first three with Romana I as well as Skin of the Sleek/The Thief who stole Time with Romana II so far. Those last two are very good and very heartbreaking in terms of Romana lore. The Romana I stories I’m also loving so far, the stories themselves are nothing spectacular but it is magical to hear Mary Tamm and Tom Baker together. The Leela ones are a bit more varied so far but they have a consistent quality to them and are very good if I want a quick adventure with my beloved Leela.
Just started Series 3 of 4DAs,it was recommended to me by a friend and this was my first exposure to 4 on audio,here is what i thought of the first audio.
The King of Sontar - 8/10 - My first 4th Doctor story and I loved it,Leela was such a badass in this one and it shows a different dynamic to sontarans.
Been enjoying what I’ve heard of series 3 so far, especially The Crooked Man, which I love! After I finish Call Me Master and series 1 of Gallifrey I’ll go back to it, then listen to series 2 again for the first time in uuuuuh like 12+ years
Crooked Man - 10/10 - Absolute per.fection,great homage to Land of Fiction and Mind Robber and I love Crooked Man he was so creepy
The Evil One - 7.5/10 - First part was extremely boring,but part 2 elevates this from 5/10 to 7.5,loved Beevers in and how he manipulates Leela in it
Last of The Colophon - 8/10 - A really good story about a man who can turn invisible if he takes off his bandages,had me fooled really,good stuff.
sorry guys if im yapping too much,just starting destroy the infinite.
You’re not yapping too much. That’s what this forum is here for.
Destroy The Infinite - 5/10 - Holy mid,i wasnt a fan of this story at all,the plot is uninteresting,even tom and louise cant save this its just mediocre as hell.
Interesting. I’ve got this on the back burner as it ties into Dark Eyes.
It felt like i knew wtf was this like i heard the name before.
The Abandoned - 7.5/10 - Wow this was a bit confusing and all over the place but I liked it,very Land of Fiction like and pretty fun.
Finished off season 1 with Wrath of the Iceni (didn’t listen in order)
This was a great story, probably the standout of the season.
Boudicca is a figure I’d heard of but didn’t really know much about. This story is a really interesting and nuanced introduction.
Content Warning if you are planning to listen mention of rape
Wrath of the Iceni is a great story and particular suits Leela for obvious reasons.
Zygon Hunt - 6/10 - Kind of boring and mediocre,however I liked Mina and theres some good stuff with Zygons,overall second worst story of Season 3.
Anyone done Hellwood Inheritance?
Not yet, but there’s a thread for it set up for spoiler discussions! The Fourth Doctor Adventures Series 14: The Hellwood Inheritance
This cover is too scary in lieu of my paycheck to get the last of the Main Range I’ve been blasting through the 4DAs, and I’ve been broadly enjoying them even though they have been a mixed bag so far.
Not too hyped about a dalek two parter at the end of this series though…
