I listened to the trailer...I liked the music... I've no interest in this box (I'm not a fan of impersonation, nor in general of BF's 'Chronicles') but having happened upon the trailer (it was played in the podcast) I was blown away by the music - it's absolutely superb. I'm almost tempted to get the box just for the music! I'm not sure which other releases Ioan Morris & Rhys Downing have worked on, but I'll be looking out for their stuff...

Certain box sets of the Confessions of Dorian Gray. They did the music of Series 3, Spirits of Christmas and Some of Series 5.

Just for the record, I'm a big fan of Nick's. I think he's a really talented guy and has had his hand in so many of my favorite BF stories, one way or another. So my comment about me "hating" what I've heard of this so far is not an overall comment on his body of work. In fact, one of the things that struck me when listening to the trailer was how surprised I was by my response to his performance. I don't usually have that reaction to his work. I know and I don't think anyone here has said anything wrong. It was just really upsetting to me to read about that thread on Gallifrey Base.

I don't know why anybody would want to post personal insults against Nicholas Briggs. I didn't mean to suggest @paz was doing that, it just sounded like a complaint about him to me (although re-reading it to be fair he said it wasn't). Personally I would be devastated to think I had upset Nicholas Briggs, anyone who works on the show or at Big Finish. I hope none of my rare criticisms offend any of them.

We are all allowed criticisms. You purchase something and listen to it you are entitled to your subjective opinion. Critiquing something you failed to respond to is not hating on something or someone. Needless personal attacks are a different thing entirely. Also not being able to recognize that others might feel differently and that your opinion is just that is also a different thing.

Also not being able to recognize that others might feel differently and that your opinion is just that is also a different thing. Agreed!! Giving your opinion on something you purchased, or discussing an upcoming release is not 'hate'. Personal attacks is crossing the line, but I've not seen that. If you make a purchase, and don't like something, you have a right as a consumer to give an honest opinion. If you love everything without question, well, that's just odd. Even if you don't like a performer or a writer, that's also not a crime. I don't understand the mentality that everything is a 10/10 and anything else is disloyal. Which I saw a lot of on the new series forum early on when the show came back on. We're all fans or we wouldn't be here, no harm in being a discriminating fan though, it forces the producers to raise the bar.

I'll reserve judgement until i listened tp the box set, Nick is a great ambassador for Doctor Who & done amazing things at Big Finish, sure there's been a few clunkers but on the whole Nicks got more right than wrong.

Bumping this thread as it's due for release this week (Thursday). After hearing the trailer and the 15 minute preview, I am not buying this set but obviously hope it does well (what a contradiction). Cheers Tony EDIT: Guessing that's me off the Christmas card list...

Cheers Tony I was going to buy it from Big Finish but after listening to the preview (which I did enjoy, but felt more like an enhanced audiobook than I would like) I don't think it's worth £23. Wordery have it at a more justifiable price of £15

Just listened to the preview, the impression is fine just like it was in Night of the Whisper. They must have picked the worst possible lines to use for the trailer because its just hard to listen to.

They need some better trailers. The Lives of Captain Jack one isn't very good either.

I'm not much one for trailers, either. No idea why it is but somehow they rarely seem to me to do justice to the production they're representing.

The recent Companion Chronicles trailer was awesome.
