New adventures announced
Is the range any good?
I havenât listened to any of them and never really felt the need to
I have listened to the first box and I thought it was fun.
Hoping fans of her series enjoy. Itâs not a spin-off Iâve ever dippped in to nor have I really wanted to but I enjoyed her in The Artist at the End of Time.
I listened to some of the original when it first came out. Itâs a lot of fun. Not the deepest or most groundbreaking, but if you want to spend a couple of hours listening to something, then Iâd recommend.
Iâm excited for this. Georgia is an underrated actor.
I enjoyed that one too. Was also nice seeing Colin Baker as the Curator.
Thatâs just their generic placeholder for releases which fit under their âWorlds of Doctor Whoâ banner (allthough itâs actually from the special release they did years ago with four stories - one with J&L, one with the UNIT Vault, one with Counter Measures and one with Gallifrey (and added Colin, of course).
huh whoops, nevermind, didnât know this, ignore me then lmao
Honestly, Iâm not really sure how I feel about this.
I think it would be fair to say that BigFinish have gone a bit spin-off mental in recent years, and some of them just looked like blatant cash grabs.
- Lady Christina
- The Paternoster Gang
- Tales From New Earth
- The Churchill Years
All spin-off series that I had pretty low expectations of going into them. Iâll hold my hands up and say that âLady Christinaâ really surprised me (there is so much they can do with the character, like have the bus modified so it fly through time and have her ladyship go on temporal heists) but I was proven right about the other three.
The Doctorâs Daughter series was another one where I was just like âyeah, whateverâ, but decided to give it a chance after Christina wowed me.
I come to regret that decision when I reached episode three.
âNeon Reignâ was an absolute and categorical train wreck. Genuinely shocked BigFinish even approved it the quality was so low.
The other three episodes in the first set were alright - nout special - but just middle of the road.
Donât know if itâs worth me giving this third set a try and seeing if my look will improve.
What I love about the expanded universe is that, if something is not for you thatâs okay because there are probably 5 other things that are.
Is this a new one?
Yeah. Itâs the one that comes out in October. It was just revealed.
Nice. I think the last two have been fun!
I remember enjoying the first set, even if it was nothing amazing, need to catch up.
I will say Iâm enthused for the continuing adventures of Jenny but I am upset that we arenât getting a full box of Jenny vs Noah as COLT-5000 or that Noah being turned into COLT-5000 was a permanent change for him. I think it would have been a really nice emotional story for them and could have given Noah, especially some intriguing development. All the same, itâs going to be four fun, lighthearted tales.
