I'm resisting the urge to listen to the 15 minute snippet. I'd rather hear the whole thing fresh. I've stopped listening to snippets of releases I've already pre-ordered. I usually do as well, but I just couldn't resist an early 15 minutes of Jackie Tyler. Is it so wrong I find Jackie so wonderful?

Is there a reason that this is pinned in everyboard? While It's relevant to a couple boards, I can hardly see why it's pinned in the Dorian Gray board. Shouldn't be now. Also, edited the title for spoilers Cheers Tony

You know, I wasn't sure about this box at first, but I'm really enjoying it so far! (Says the person who's only halfway through part one...).

Do people agree with BF's decision to make it Worlds of Doctor Who, not Torchwood?

Found part one to be very...by the numbers. I can't put my finger on any one thing I found wrong with it, and I certainly didn't dislike it at all, but I didn't find it as engaging as I had hoped.
Fingers crossed that I like parts 2-4 more.

Interesting collection
Wednesdays for Beginners is Stunning and worth the price of the Boxset alone.
Camille Courdi makes Jackie so real and true as the realist optimist.
Katy Manning has a ball in Some Enchanted Evening.
I think the other 2 are very good but don't have as clear highlight moments though all 4 do show that Barrowman is still fully engaged with the character.

Ok, I've only listened to "The Year After I Died" so far. Barrowman is fantastic in this. I love the fact that Jack is afraid to die, living a life away from danger and terrified to enter into it again. All of the performances were great and I was engaged through the whole thing. Malfi losing his eyes was pretty harsh.
But I am SO SICK of "rich people are evil". It's tiresome already. Would there be people exploiting the situation? Of course, but I found this particular scenario completely unbelievable and insulting to the intelligence as a listener. There could have and should have been such a better story here.

Right, after being nonplussed by part 1? I loved part 2. 'Jack and Jackie' is worth the price of admission by itself!

Barrowman and Tovey make a great couple 😂 So charming. The idea of jack having 'relations' with himself is priceless and as others have said Camille Coduri is fantastic as usual (about time she had her own boxset!).
Our full review coming very soon.

John is absolutely fantastic from start to finish, Camille is adorable beyond words and her performance is impeccable, and everyone knows what an awesome event Barrowman and Vlahos is. All of the stories were of high enough caliber that combined with the amazing performances it seemed like all of the stories lasted twice as long as they really did, in such a good way. That's a really high mark in my book when I think "Wow, this is amazing, I must be really close to the end" and I look at the track list and discover I'm still only in the middle of the story. A big "Bravo!" (and big thanks) to everyone involved, an outstanding production all around, in my opinion. There just has to be more of The Lives of Captain Jack in store for us, there just has to.
