The way I still have yet to listen to any Vienna stories and yet I knew, I just knew, she was queer. (Master! volume 3 spoiler)
I mean, granted, it’s Big Finish so it was a safe bet.

I’ve listened to season 3 now. Not as good as season 2 was, but I enjoyed the way the three stories came together as a larger arc.
I like Vienna, but I am not sure if I like it enough to spend actual money on season 4 - Retribution before continuing with Master!
I kind of think the “memory shenanigans” gimmick is a bit outplayed in Vienna now, anyone know if Retribution follows that pattern as well?
(All her other stories were on streaming )
The Memory Box: 4DA fatigue is finally starting to kick in, and you know me, I love a spinoff that is so far removed from Mr Dr Who they might as well not exist <3 So I listened to this on my bus home! Thank you my friend @BillFiler !
LOVE the theme tune. Loved the vibe also, it has a bit of a 90s SF flavour which I adore, and the memory plot stuff was fun. And Vienna herself I think l liked more in this hour than I did in any of her MR appearances. I think this will make excellent bus listening this week!
I’m glad to hear it
I agree about the theme
I don’t think I know exactly what it is, but Vienna just works for me.
(And come on with a sale Big Finish - I want to listen to season 4!)
Know that this eventually also is a gateway to the Master! series
Good job Master! has been on my radar for a while so a perfect excuse to listen, I think! Let us pray to the BF gods for a sale
Hooray!
I love the Vienna series. It is not perfect and has its share of rubbish episodes but I do enjoy Vienna (and Jexie!) a lot!
Vienna series 2 is possibly one of the most underrated thing Big Finish have done, The Vienna Experience being a fantastic episode
Might have just done a re-listen of “The Memory Box” myself
Dead Drop: enjoyed that! It was fun! Haven’t got a whole lot else to say about it but I found the twists and turns to weave into an excellent yarn
Bad Faith: Aw yea I really liked that one! It could have easily been trite or an annoying commentary but I found it to be tonally just right
Deathworld: ngl this one lost me a bit in the middle but the end was excellent, that cliffhanger made me go !! I am liking Vienna the character and the series a lot
The Vienna series was so hard to get physically in so glad I have it in my collection
I have series two and four now and I’m still looking for the rest
Tabula Rasa: Yeah! This was the stuff. Really enjoyed this one, Vienna and whatsisface Police Chief were very funny together, though I’m not sure about the angle of making her a ‘space cop’, I think that might grind some of her edges down and make her more generic as a character
Underworld: ohhhhhh so I love Jex now and I need her to be okay I enjoyed the twists in this one, I had fun
The Vienna Experience: aw yeahh I loves me a bit of a brain chip mind control story and this one does not disappoint. Take back what I said about her being a space cop lmao, I thought the end was very good and I am happy that Jexie is coming along for the ride
Yayy! I love Jexie, she’s so adorable <3
Self Improvement: Another good episode, fun to listen to if not particularly deep. Didn’t vibe with it as much as anything from s2 but I did enjoy it nevertheless and didn’t see where the story was going
Big Society: This one was very silly in exactly the way I love. The Hall of the Mountain King gags really got me. One of my favourite eps so far I think
Impossibly Glamorous: insane person statement incoming, but the dystopian world of London is the type of world K9 the series wanted to be… I actually believed the robot police Bobbies in this were threatening
Anyway I did very much enjoy this one, even if I found the resolution a bit ehh. And that’s the end of Vienna on Spotify BF gods, Vienna sale pls!!!
Oh yes, Retribution is really good! A great conclusion to the Vienna series IMO
