Worst Bernice Summerfield Audios?

I’m currently going through the long and arduous process of updating all my old Benny reviews from the other site, so that I can eventually start reviewing the magnificent seventh series.

Whilst I adore this range, there have undoubtedly been a couple of stinkers.

What would you consider to be some of the worst in the range?

These would honestly be my least favourites from the range - my review of ‘Beyond the Sun’ was essentially me just ripping into it.

As for the other two;

‘The Poison Seas’ is a dialogue heavy story featuring the Sea Devils, who have one of the worst voices for an audio drama. I ended up with a headache after five minutes. The entire thing might as well be an advert for Nurofen!

‘The Goddess Quandary’ is quite possibly one of the most nothing stories evert released. Shame considering it comes right before one of the most brutal and phenomenally written stories in the entire range.

Yep, I would agree with Beyond the Sun 100%.

For me, other worst ones I’d throw into the ring are The Adventure of the Diogenes Damsel, Dragon’s Wrath, and all of the New Frontiers boxset - that boxset was so boring I nearly couldn’t bear to listen to it

I remember liking The Poison Seas but everyone round here seems to hate it!

I did quite enjoy The Poison Seas, but I also did find all the sound design and Sea Devil voices to be grating and almost unintelligible at times. But as far as a story goes, no, I didn’t hate it at all.
