Renaissance of the Daleks / Big Finish

[leoniedelt]

Renaissance of the Daleks from Big Finish was pretty good.

Even had the Doc being electrocuted by a toy Dalek as he attempted to pull it off the console. Very brave of him. Sounded fun too :D

Also very in character, i thought. I perhaps need to alter some dialogue of Tempus Fugit to be a little more 'Doctory'... Lots of 'Hmm's and stuttering as he pulls everything out of his arse, makes it up as he goes along, and yet manages to save the universe in time for tea.

I recommend it. Not as good as Spare Parts or Circular Time, or even Sympathy for the Devil, but very good indeed. Worth a listen at least once, anyway.

Electrocuted by a toy Dalek? Win! And that's the one with scones in somewhere isn't it? Really must listen to that. I've been distracted by Sherlock Holmes audio plays just lately. But scones and toy Daleks and lots of "hmm"s are too tempting!

Just tea and scones and an unconscious Doctor at the beginning, thats all for scones. But yes, toy Daleks. Brilliant stuff.

All in all a little too talky by the supporting cast (the confederate Black slave, the 'Nam chopper pilot woman, the 1300s knight in armour, etc), but a good story indeed.

personally, i can't wait until Big Finish do another Fifth Doctor story w/ Turlough. ^.^

Meh. Nyssa and Five are a superb team. Perimem and Five, not so good. Cant stand Peri's banal whine, nor do i think Erimem is anything pharaoh-ish, and Turlough didnt do much for me either, though i loved Loups Garoux.
