Debating listening to ‘The Dark Planet’ from The Lost Stories range. Is this one worth a listen at all?

Kerr from Blake's 7 Liberator Chronicles Volume 4. One of the best, I think. They'll never truly be gone, these two.

An Earthly Child
A nice introduction for Alex overall, with a nice glimpse of the post-Dalek Invasion Earth. Would be nice to have a slightly longer scene with Alex after the big reveal of his heritage though.

I enjoyed it, imaginative story as was much of that era - and probably impossible to make without CGI, but it looks good on audio.

Much obliged number13. From the description alone, I can very much understand why it was never made. Sounds like a cracking story though so I’m definitely going to give it a go.

From memory, in his writer's notes Matt Fitton (who wrote the audio adaptation) says something about how the production team in those early days was ambitious and imaginative so that they might have tried to make it, with smoke and mirrors - literally! Given what they dared to try with 'The Web Planet' (and I think that's a great Hartnell story), it would have taken a lot to put them off trying to produce a story!

Back to the Dark Shadows. Within spitting distance of clearing the backlog of titles I currently own in these particular range(s), so at some point today it'll be a first run through A Collinwood Christmas (as you do in early January), Beneath The Veil and The Enemy Within. I love them all but a special fondness for Beneath The Veil it really echoes Bloodlust .

Diary of River Song 7 : Carnival of Angels
It's amazing how well they work on audio, but they do! *Blink!* AAARGH! (Though you really would need to have seen one of the TV stories to get the full effect imo.)
Enjoyable prequel story in 'Film Noir' style to round off what I thought was another excellent River volume. It's very much personal choice of course, but for me Vols 5/6/7 have all been great volumes. Very different themes for each set, but as it turned out, each of the themes has been one which really appealed to me and the stories lived up to them. And so did River!

Got today off (because I worked holiday last week) and I am spoiled for choices... either might go with Torchwood and Queen Victoria, or start on Gallifrey IV... we will see.

Torchwood Fortitude. Creepy and atmospheric. Queen Victoria is great. I love that there are only moral grey characters.

Something of a Queen Victoria duology today, first with Fortitude (good stuff, lots of morally gray characters) and then revisiting The Victorian Age (More of a farce, with a nice dynamic between the Queen and Jack).

Dark Planet is one of this audios where you can hear the black-and-white. I don't know how they could have ever afforded to make it, but it's that swing for the fences attitude that makes the early days so special.
