You disagree? How many of the 13 per year, have been excellent, or mediocre? For this year?
Peterloo Massacre, The 2 Masters. Order of the Daleks=Excellent
Water of Amsterdam, Aquitaine, And You will Obey. Vampire of the Mind, Fiesta of the Dammed, Life of Crime, couple of the Memory Bank shorts= Very good
Maker of Demons is below average.

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I felt bad for those poor children, though. The writer's notes were really helpful in understanding why he chose the device of using the children for telling the story, though, as well as other interesting tidbits about the story. The discussion in the preceding pages of this thread about where in the Fifth Doctor's and/or Master's timelines this story took place now has me thoroughly confused, thanks for that. Really enjoyed this, felt the relationship between The Master & the kids creepy & disturbing but the dragonfly aliens felt superfluous. Yeah, agree. The story would have gone on quite nicely without the dragonfly aliens in it. Overall, very good story, though. Geoffrey Beevers as the Master is always fun to hear.

Great stuff. It’s a heavy story, and I got lost in a couple of places, but really good. The Master’s relationship with the children is really dark and his sinister presence is felt throughout, even though he’s not actually in the story a massive amount.
Peter Davison shines as the Doctor on audio, especially when he’s solo; always a rewarding listen. The soundtrack is brilliant too.
Only criticism is the bounty hunter dragonflies are irritating and don’t really serve a purpose, but that’s minor.

So, assuming that the Doctor was correct about this being in between Deadly Assassin and Keeper of Traken for the Master, what does it mean now that we know that the Master was already possessing a human body in Keeper of Traken? Does that mean that Ainley was actually a Time Lord mind in a human body possessing a Trakenite? And then, after the warp core took away Tremas' body, was the Master back to just being a human? So let me get this straight: the Master successfully regenerates at the end of DA into Gordon Tipple, takes the Death Worm Morphant because it was a one-shot regeneration, posssses Eric Roberts and gets sucked into the Eye of Harmony. he then escapes as a gas and possesses a series of bodies, each of which progressively become the Zombeevers. Eventually he gets his TARDIS back, goes to Odessa, meets some rocket men, runs a death match etc and eventually goes to Traken. (he gets infected by the Cheetah planet, gets cured by the Tzun who lie about removing the Trakenite DNA, instead they simply restore his Time Lord regenerative ability). the Warp Core eventually destroys the Trakenite DNA but not the Time Lord, leaving the Zombeevers again. Potentially, it burns through his regenerative ability as well. Sensing the Time War and needing soldiers, the Time Lords bribe the Master with a new set of regenerations cue McQueen, Jacobi, Simm and Gomez. Hahaha well that’s quite a journey 🤪

As usual I couldn’t much remember very much about this from first few listens lol But as usual i love Peter in his audios and Peter solo is always a bonus too.Mr Beevers is always excellent would not like to be sitting in a dark room with him in his Masters persona . This is one of the Bf that has the writers notes on the website always a joy to read them and get insight to the story and a lovely dedication to one of his mates enjoyable listen.
The strange thing i am finding with the Main Range now ended is that the tales seem somehow more precious to me when i listen.Anyone else finding that?

For the 60th I thought I would revisit this three Doctor trilogy, and just from the first story, I’m very glad I did. Despite getting a little lost within itself in Episode Three, and not quite enough Beevers, And You Will Obey Me feels like a dark time travel thriller, and that’s not a genre I would associate the Fifth Doctor, but it works incredibly well. Hearing this a second time, with The Two Masters under my belt, it’s nice that twists make sense in the performances, which is hard to accomplish between three writers and various actors from a producing stand point so hats off to David Richardson as well!
