Big Finish: The Fourth Doctor Adventures

Actually looking at my review, I remember liking it more than I seem to there :sweat_smile: Marc Platt and I don’t seem to get on too well, unfortunately. But he did get Leela bang on, so that’s probably why I remember it positively

When he gets it wrong it hurts (coof coof The Skull of Sobek coof coof), but I’m usually a Marc Platt guy.

Also it was fun realizing our Marc Platt isn’t Wicked producer Marc Platt and that there is infact two Marc Platts in the world

Yeah Skull of Sobek is… well, less said the better I think! Fascinating that it’s not a unique name in the media world though

Cloisters of Terror: Dame Emily Shaw I love you!!! What a delight she is - to my shame I’ve never got round to listening to The Last Post so this was my first story with her, and I adored her. This was so totally my type of story, I loved it!

Fate of Krelos: JAMIE MCCRIMMON MENTION!!! and omg I started the next one and there he is :face_holding_back_tears::face_holding_back_tears: Anyway, this story is the very definition of average. Did anything happen? Who fckn knows, I was staring out of the window and I guess not paying attention. Please tell me that I’m not about to lose my Leela to a boring ass story :frowning: I’m not getting her back for ages after this

In my opinion, s9 to 12 is the strongest run in the entire 4DAs

well, I’ll report when I get there! I’ll start s5 probably on Sunday - so far I’m not sure any season has been anything but ups and downs

In that entire run, there’s only 1 story i actively dislike

It’s not 4DA but it’s Marc Platt and 4th Doctor: I loooove Luna Romana. It isnt very standalone and kind of does need the other two (imo very much weaker) parts of the trilogy for context but this story was a delight and it made me smile :slight_smile:

Man I love the 4th Doctor and the Romanas

Wave of Destruction: And so I say a fond farewell to Leela and enter the Romana ii era of the 4DAs with a very amusing and fun story. I liked this one quite a bit! I’m glad it was a good one because if I’d had to wait half an hour for the bus (grrr) with a bad audio I’d have been way less happy

A fun story. I have the limited record release of this one.

(I listened to The Beginning so much because of how many times I restarted it for my project that at this point I unironically enjoy that story a lot)

Fate of Krelos/Return to Telos was one of those rare occasions where I thought ‘how bad can it be’ having read lots of negative reviews (and having found some of the other unliked 4th Doctor audios to be better than their reputation)…and came out from listening to them in absolute agreement with the bad reviews.

Oh boy, if even you’re saying that then it must be dire :sob:

When do these get good?
I listened to the first one in full, and a bit of the second one (i like to do things in order)
They were really boring .
